Hi Guys
I am heading into first chemo Tuesday, got a head cold for the first time in 7 years is this an omen, nervous and hoping for best, on a lighter note youngest daughter graduated as a hairdresser yesterday, pity I wont I have any hair to style Cat xoxo
Cat, so sorry to hwar you are crook - off to the GP 1st thing in the monring and call the Cancer Centre or the Oncologyst and let them know...
Depending on how well or badly you are doing they may push your Chemo back by a week but best to be on antibiotics asap so that secondary infectuons do not develop
And congrats on the daughter's graduation - there will.be hair there.for a couple.of weeks post Chemo so maybe get her to do a nice short stly cut for you for before it starts.to shed - coupd do a lot.of playing with styles for the next few weeks ??
All the best with the Chemo

Hi Cat,
Maybe you were saving your cold for an extra special occasion!!! ;-). All the best for your chemo on Tuesday - wishing you minimal side effects. Congratulations to your daughter - just think - how exciting it will be for both you and your daughter (what a privilege for her) to have that first hair cut together!!!! That's pretty special. Xx Cath
Probably all those Dr surgery visits. I actually avoided 3 rounds of colds in my household whilst on chemo. I think the chemo destroyed the virus as I often felt one was starting...like the rest if the family...then it just dissappeared or didn't progress. Won't be long and new hair will return and be awaiting a new Style.
Goodluck with first chemo. Kath x
Keep an eye on the cold and get into the GP for antibiotics fast if it looks like going for your chest. My Dr said caught early its easier to treat than if you leave things until full blown pneumonia.
Congrats to your daughter. If you are into wigs, she could always cut and style one for you?
Wishing you plain sailing during chemo and a speedy recovery time.
