Second chemo done, 2 to go.
Hi friends
Has been a busy month, first chemo done 20.8.15 not too bad few down days 3rd day post chemo, bit of oral thrush and a mouth ulcer even with careful mouth cares. Didn't take too long to heal. Hair falling out week before 2nd chemo, had it shaved Tues. Attended Look good feel better program that same day, cannot give enough praise and gratitide to these ladies and how fantastic it was. Recommend this to each and every person going through this cancer journey. You leave feeling sooo much better and confidence boosted. These ladies that run the program are heroes. Was initially very distressed and stressed over the hair loss however after leaving the workshop and having my hair shaved feeling a lot better. Have some beautiful scarves, wigs and gorgeous makeup to experiment with.
Second chemo yesterday, being a nurse talked to my oncologist about tweaking my dex to see if a reducing dose would last over a longer period to prevent those few bad days, fingers crossed it works. Two down, two to go. Will update those interested, I don't see the sense in having any bad days if we don't need to.
Hoping all of you beautiful ladies and men are all holding up.
Hugs and warm wishes
Sonya
