As you can seen sleep is remaining elusive so its off to the bathroom for a shave methinks.My facial hair is very sparse due to the chemo so its better that it comes off I think.
It'll give Maria and Daisy the dog a shock when they wake up if nothing else. My hair on my head looks better as its not so sparse yet so that can stay for the while.

I had a chat with the chemo nurse on Thursday last and she warned me that my eyebrows and eyelashes were on dodgy ground too. How right she was.
Also certain people find their nails go soft and fall out so be careful about washing the dishes; well Maria and I looked at each other and laughed at that one.

I have also found that all my food tastes terrible even though it smells lovely and I fancy it.
I have found myself not eating a lot at the moment. Hopefully that feeling will pass as the days progress. If not its "force feeding" as I realise you have to put food in to provide fuel to fight the good fight.
They reckon use a bit more herbs and spices on things you like to enhance the taste. We'll see how it goes (Curried Ice cream?).

By the way over the last three weeks I have lost a kilo in weight. This equates to a bowel movement so everyone is pleased with that, so for sake of argument my weight is almost static - hooray!.
I'm off to cut my face open - will photo the results later when the bits of toilet roll are removed
