Hi Jane,
I really felt for Vanessa when Spencer said it was his idea to cook Beef Wellington. Ooh! That's so patronizing...poor woman.

Hi Jean,
I was watching on youtube a poem read by a poet named Maya Angelou, called Still I Rise. This poem reminded me of you and your courage, when faced with the distress you're enduring.

I too have never heard of chemo curls. Went through a similar experience as you when I was younger. My hair is straight too. It was when a friend asked me to be a maid of honour at her wedding in about 1978. She wanted me to have permed hair so I...
