Mia Farrow eat your heart out!



Well firstly I feel GREAT! I luuuuuuurve my new hair do! Its given me some new found confidence strangely enough. I wish I'd had it done ages ago. I have had short hair before but no way near as good as this one. My friend and hairdresser Jenny Chase is the most talented girl I know.

Jen came down from London last night after work. We were both quite nervous about doing it and were nearly in tears. I was still at my friends and was tired and feeling tearful anyway. I knew I what I wanted but I did not have any photos to show Jen. I just told her to do a 60's pixie crop.

I tugged on my hair just to make sure it was really falling out still. It seemed like it was only falling out at the back. This is probably where the cold cap was not reaching my scalp.

We went for it... it seemed to take a long time but I knew Jen was doing a very good job. She told me she loved it and that she would not do this hair cut on anyone else. I was nervous about what it was going to look like. I had every confidence in her to do a great job, I just did not feel ready to go short again.

She finished and I went into the other room to show Katie and looked in the mirror. My instant reaction was "Wow, I love it!!!!" Jen has done an amazing job, especially as she had no photo to go on. It was exactly what I wanted. It was like she had got into my head and seen the image I had in my mind.

Jen...... you rock and are the most amazing hairdresser as well as friend. I love you to pieces!!!!!

I was so nervous on the drive over to you Em, I almost burst into tears in front of Katie while you were washing your hair.
I have since learnt not to be scared of how you are going to deal with this as you are clearly going from strength to strength, of course there are going to be awful times and lot of tears but the support network you have and the unquestionable love around you has been outsatanding....
There are very few people I would have done that cut on, you look amazing and I only rock cos you carry my ct so well.....
Big kisses X X X X

What a sexy haircut!! I usually prefer long hair, but now I'm not so sure! That cut really shows off your gorgeous features. Lovely! I'm glad to see a bright spot in everything you have had to go through. Stay strong! I think this blog has been a wonderful thing for you. It's especially touching to see all the love and support from your friends and family. xo Scott

My new puppies!

Well what a week I have had! I have had my breast reconstruction and am now back home recovering.I was very anxious and excited at the same time about having it done. It was great to think finally I will get my boobs back but I had no idea how they were going to turn out and I had to trust in my surgeon that they would look great! My body was changing again and it was quite a scary feeling. The recon went very well and I am very pleased with the results. It took me a while to look down at my chest, I was worried I was not going to like what I saw. At first glance in hospital I freaked out because not only was the right breast about twice the size of the left one but they were also pointing side ways rather then straight on. I hated being back in hospital, it brought back all the horrible memories of when I was last in to have my mastectomy. Even though I was in for a positive reason it was still hard. Being in pain, coming round from the anesthetics and being on morphine is a massive ...

Spring has sprung

I am so happy that the sun is shining and spring is on its way because at the moment I am my happiest sitting out in the natural elements taking in the new spring air. I feel it is appropriate timing that I am finishing my treatment and will be starting to live my life again when Spring is emerging. The Spring equinox begins this weekend, when night and day stand in perfect balance. The Spring Equinox represents new life and growth. The lethargy of winter is dissipating and there is the promise of life becoming more exuberant. This equinox is also known as Ostara or Eostre - and is celebrated as a festival of new growth, renewal, a re-balancing of energies and the return of longer days. "Goddess of fertility and new beginnings, we take this opportunity to embrace Eostre's passion for new life and let our own lives take the new direction we have wanted for so long." I mentioned in my last post the last chemo being bittersweet and how its left me feeling alone and desponde...

Breast cancer awarness month

If you haven't noticed already its breast cancer awareness month, pink ribbons and products are everywhere but its more then just pink stuff! Its about being aware of breast cancer and remembering to check your boobs! So if you haven't already then do it now!! Do it after you have read this so you do not forget! Even you guys can check your pecks too. Around 300 men are diagnosed with BC every year so get checking. I was involved in the Samsung breast cancer campaign again this year which was called 'Everybody is art' An artist recreated the face of Botticelli's Venus - featuring the faces of 1,096 men and women throughout Europe who are affected by breast cancer, or campaigning for breast cancer awareness. See if you can spot me! The pink ribbon event was another glamorous night at the Royal Exchange in London with some celebs also there to support the campaign. A massive $1.5 million dollars was raised! It was also lovely to see Amanda again, one of the ambassador...
