00:00 Hello everyone, thank you so much for all the messages. Sorry I've been a little silent

00:06 on you over the weekend, just wanted to fully recover after chemo on Thursday and definitely

00:11 get in there. I had a little bit of sickness Thursday, Friday, tiredness but you can't

00:17 sleep because of the steroids. Got my steroid moon face which I'm used to anyway by now.

00:24 But definitely feeling more like Amy today. Mouth covered in mouth ulcers and quite swollen.

00:31 But you know, obviously losing the hair still and just because you can't sleep because of

00:36 steroids but you're so tired. So those are the symptoms I've got but I've now ended up

00:41 in hospital so far after this admission so that's a win-win. And I was told from all

00:48 my fellow Pink sisters that normally after your third EC, the chemo you have, is when

00:52 you start to lose your eyelashes and your eyebrows and so far I still got them.
