I had the first maintenance treatment 3 weeks ago and it all went well. Glad to say that there weren't any side effects at all! I'm feeling as well as I was before treatment - I've got back into piano playing and booked a few more lessons to get me back on track, I've taken up running and using the 'Couch to 5K' podcasts which are surprisingly good! I'll be back on my bike soon too! I had taken a break from my EdD course, but started that again last week and picked up my assignment that was abandoned part way through. My hair is re-growing but in a rather strange way - I wake up in the morning with it stuck up in all directions! Soon it will be its normal thick, straight self I'm sure.
It really is like childbirth - a few months later and all the pain and discomfort is forgotten!
