Life after chemo

Lucy definitely look into it, even just a consultation, it was pricey but the best money Ive spent in my life and I only saw him once, I dont need to see him again, Id say thats worth it! I'd only recommend this to anyone who has finished chemo too. :)

Thanks Melinda, that's really interesting. I might look into it. I need to be a bit healthier and this might help. x 

Lucy, he did an assessment, it was weird LOL some of it, but incredible. He could tell me exactly what was out of balance in my body. I did a 2 week no wheat, no dairy and no sugar. I had drops to get my body ph levels back into shape. I was already taking magnesium but he gave me a stronger one, and Caltrate. Some different drops, but all of this together has been incredible in my recovery. I was the same everyone recommended to see one, but I didnt know what they did. I just feel so much better and well. Oh still eat my chocolate but only weekends LOL. I dont believe in giving up anything, diet has nothing to do with it. Moderation in all things :) xx

Hi Melinda, how did the naturopath help you? This is an area I haven't looked into much. Friends have recommended it. 

Molly it's taken a very long time, but I have to say the fatigue is lessening and my energy levels have never been better. Unfortunately there's not alot of help post care and long term, so the Forum is great to get some ideas and tips of what and where to go. 

I attribute my recovery now to, damn hard work with my exercise Physiologist, an incredible naturopath who blew my mind! got my body into some damn good rhythm lol. The biggest thing of all is self awareness and self nurture, no 1 Key to loving yourself back to a new improved version of you. The more I get off 'medications' the better I am. Unfortunately stuck on Aromasin but can live with that. Only taking panadol osteo now and then. 

You will get there, but put you first and nurture you all the way back, you'll get there!!! xx Melinda

Yes @Zoffiel ..my eyelashes starting falling out about 100 days...but fortunately not all. A stressful week or so that was.

@melclarity, glad to hear you're feeling well. I can't wait to get through a day without feeling exhausted at the end of it! I was lucky enough not to loose all my eyelashes, just a few, and kept a few whispy eyebrows too. No false-lash movie deal for me @Zoffiel.

My eyelashes fell out just after my final chemo, but then started growing back really quickly. 

@Zoffiel my eyelashes fell out about 2 times before they stayed, but they do eventually stay and stop :) 

Hey, I've got enough hair now that I can sort of grab it. And EYELASHES!!!! Bald was one thing, weird alien lashless eyes were something else.

Now I'm stressing because I read somewhere that eyelashes have a lifespan of about 100 days and if that's true does it mean they will all fall out at once and I'll be doing some 'rinse and repeat' eyelashes-no-eyelashes nightmare until I give up and buy falsies and audition for Priscilla Queen of the Dessert IV and don't get the gig and will have to work in a call centre where no-one I talk to can actually see me. ***Gasps and remembers to breath***

PS, they don't all fall out at once again, I know that, but what if they do.... I'd be OK with being in a movie about sugar and chocolates, please don't make me do anything that involves sand.
