Boxing gloves back on...


The Isle of Skye is beautiful!
The scenery is so dramatic and just wonderful, 
the views are food for the soul, so peaceful,
it all just went tooo fast as all good times do, can't believe it's over and we're back home!


the view outside our cottage,


treacle scones for breakfast,

walking, walking and...


more walking!






Ahhh so lovely,
well, it's back to business.
Boxing gloves back on, ding ding, round 3.
My Chemo starts next Thursday,
it's 'intensive', 6 cycles which will last the rest of the year ( I don't do stuff by halves)
Ok
I'm soaking up those positive vibes, wiping away the tears and snot, trying to prepare for what's to come, looking at hats, wigs and scarves, taking a deep breath, putting a smile and my face and getting on with it,
I'll save a fortune on shampoo and conditioner and there's no fear I'll catch head pets from the kids when they're back at school!


trying to look at the positives on this stage is tough, it just seems a long time and a lot of stuff to put myself through, 
but, we're getting closer to this being all over.
I can't say enough thank yous these days, 
your comments are so uplifting and I'm extremely grateful for them and your support, it helps me stay positive.
So here I go rocking the bald look for the Autumn season, hope it catches on! x

  4. Hi Lisa,
    You've definitely got to keep that sense of humour, it WILL help when the going gets tough. Don't be hard on yourself and rest as much as you can.

    I bought 3 wigs and wore one for one day, the rest of the time I wore scarves. I've got quite a lovely collection now.

    Keep strong and I'll be thinking of you

    xx

  6. Go Lisa! Ditto Susie's comments - we're here if you want to have a break from the real world and dip in to blogland for a bit. I can't tell you how impressed, amazed and inspired I am by you. Keep smiling, and yay for no nits (or head pets - classic!). Nic x

  7. So, as I was reading your post I pulled my husband over to see that highland beauty and he stuck around as I scrolled down and we both gasped at the same time at the lovely view of the village and the misty hills. Gorgeous! He said "Who's blog is this and when can we go visit her?"

    I'm sending all the best wishes for good health! I was just thinking of you last week and was so happy when your comment on my laundry bag popped up. Great to see your post today too! Stay strong, we are all cheering for you!

  8. Your photos are gorgeous - glad you've been able to soak up so much beauty on your vacation. Hopefully you can tap into those mental images while you're going through chemo. It sounds like they are bringing out the big guns to attack your cancer. You will probably hear the word "brave" a lot, because that is what you are. Also a very talented person with a beautiful family. I'm sending you big hugs and healing thoughts as you go through all if this.

  9. Beautiful post Lisa. I don't get to travel any more so this was a little vacation for me too. I'm sending you as many good vibes that I possibly can to see you through the days and weeks ahead. You're going to be alright and the hair does grow back and often it's even nicer. Keep looking at this in a positive light, it makes a world of difference.
    Hugs

  11. Looks like a lovely holiday Lisa. Such lovely scenery and the little houses, I remember going there years ago! Keep up the fighting Lisa, it's not long to go. My husbands aunt did this years ago and she's looking after grandkids now! So keep up your wonderful positive spirit, be kind to yourself, and keep coming back here to let us know how you're doing! Get some pretty scarves like in your screenprint! Bestest wishes! X Jules

  12. Hair's overrated I say Lisa - you can pull this off, just look what you've done over the past couple of months! You're a tough lass and have a great sense of humour although I'm sure you feel pretty low at times. Keep fighting, you're going to beat this!

  16. I can only imagine how hard it is, all I can suggest is just take it a step at a time and it'll be the end of the year in no time.

    We're all at the ropes, cheering you on!

  17. Go get 'em Girlfriend! I know you'll get through this next round and leave cancer dangling limply on the ropes, panting for breath, while you parade around the ring, gloves aloft, victorious. Am I taking this metaphor too far ;^)

    Your holiday looks fab, must have been a very welcome break.
