hello! it has been a little while . . . . i thought i'd pop in and share some photos i took with my new iphone {yes, i've joined the 21c!! how good is it?!}
i'm in an ok place this week with the treatment. the first round was extreme: 2 good days then 9 days of hideous followed by 6 days in hospital. a couple of things have been adjusted and it seems {i hope} that it will be pretty rough in the first week then ok for the next 2 so long as i'm super careful to rest a lot and stay away from sick people {tricky with kids}. i'm really missing my work time, especially painting, but am busy making sketches and notes and taking photos for later.
hope you are having a fun week xx

Hang in there Sweetpea (and I can well see you're doing just that, in all good and creative ways). May the hideous be fleeting and the good a veritable bounty.
So sorry it's been rough, my friend. I wish I lived closer so I could help out. :)
You rest, rest, rest, and wear a mask! While my dad was in the hospital for cancer treatments, they always poo-poo'ed him wearing a mask, but I'll tell you, he did better than most of the other patients there as far as catching illnesses and infections.
Take care of yourself.
((BIG HUGS)) That's just awful that you have been having a rough time :( Hang in there... hope it will be all over very soon and you can get back to the things you love doing! :)
lovely to see you belinda. and great that you are keeping up with sketching and collecting ideas for when you are well. x
p.s. have you joined instagram? it's another addiction but so much fun.
Great to see you here again Belinda! I just flew back home tonight after several days being with a friend who just had an operation due to breast cancer. I know it is frustrating not to be able to feel as strong or energetic as one wishes... Hang in there and take care...
You got an iPhone at a great timing! x :)
Nice to hear from you and hear you are coping. Wonderful to still be doing a little bit of sketching and photography too. isn't art ad the creative urge such a saviour? Oh and congrats on joining the 21st C. I'm still lagging with that....
Best wishes X.
Lovely to hear from you again. I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are going with the treatment. You poor thing. Just remember that it's not forever. xx
And remember Words with Friends, now that you have an iPhone! ;)
So good to hear from you again, Belinda! I am sorry you have such a rough time. Good for you that despite everything you can not suppress creativity and treats us to a couple of nice pictures. Love your sketch!
A big virtual hug from me to you!
So nice to hear from you. Thank you for sharing a few lovely photos.
Hugs to you and your strength. Rest.

so glad to hear from you! thanks for taking the time to update...you're in my thoughts.
taking pics and letting ideas simmer while you rest seems like a great way to use this time and look toward the future when you can put all this behind you. take care!
I hope the rough patch is fleeting this next round.
Healing & strong wishes your way.

I've been thinking about you and hoping everything is going well. I'm glad there's more good days than bad. It can be so hard to just forget everything and rest though can't it? Wishing you all the best and even more good days. xx

Hiya Belinda, So sorry to hear you've been battling : ( fingers crossed it'll get easier.
Lovely shots. Makes me super excited to see them, I also jumped on the bandwagon and my iphone is due to be delivered any day now. : )

Been thinking of you Belinda and wondering how you're going. Glad to read an update and hope that the hideous stays away next time.
Now that you've got an iPhone you'll have to join Instagram. It's the bees knees.
lovely photos, hope things go as well as they can :)
Hi Belinda,
I've been a bit absent from the blogs so I missed your news somehow and have only just found out from Kylie what you're going through.
I'm really sorry to hear that you are having to deal with this, so bloody unfair.
You sound like you are doing amazingly with it all, emotionally if not physically and I'm just stopping by to say I will be thinking of you and sending lots of good thoughts your way.
Susie x
p.s. we need you and your lovely pictures on instagram! come and visit if you decide to join up, its a great distraction :-)
It's lovely to see you "here" . Stay strong my friend. Been thinking of you.

I'm happy to hear from you, Belinda!!!

I'm happy to hear from you. But so sorry that it got so difficult. Rest and good simple food. Will be thinking of you!
Hello there! It's so lovely to see you drop by and say hello. Yay for iphones and pretty photos! :)
Take care of yourself, rest up plenty and keep looking for that inspiration. xx
I'm also addicted to my iphone apps! Thinking of you x
So good to hear form you Belinda- and that you are making plans and drawings- hugs-hugs-hugs-
Oh Belinda, I just found out thru your creative courage interview that you'd been diagnosed...I'm not always here, I click thru on "our creative spaces" days but don't always visit regularly, and I was so sad to read of your diagnosis this morning. I'm wishing you all the best and sending strength and good thoughts to you and your family.
i love all of these little inspiration bits you're putting out there. keep on doing it, it inspires me, and it's definitely progress that will show through in the end.
Your pictures are beautiful, sending my best wishes,
Maria Bowling
sounds familiar. Two days feeling quite cocky for me as i thought I was one of the lucky ones it doesn't knock about. Then whammo for a good 8 or 9 days. today the hair started to go. How have you found that? I don't know where there will be time to make or paint anything. I have tomorrow free!
