Port Pain
Hi all, I had a port put in almost three weeks ago. In the last couple of days I’m getting pain in the area.

Trying to get through the journey of growing my hair back
Hi all I am 6 months post chemo and I have hair, which I'm very happy about, however I am struggling with what to do with it. I used to have long brunette hair that I straightened every day (it had a natural annoying wave) and now it's grey and really course and quite curly. I got a hair dresser to put a bit of colour in…
