Starting TC Chemo Tomorrow Any Tips?
Hi Ladies,
I'm starting my little adventure into the land of chemotherapy tomorrow and would appreciate any tips?
Also with the wigs are the human hair the best?
How do you combat the fatigue? ...

Ditto to the above -everything Leonie said! I had TC and found by day 3 it really hit me.I felt like roadkill for about 3 days and could hardly get out of bed.Go with the flow and eat and drink whatever you can.Personally,I lived off lemon cordial,lemonaide iceblocks and vegie soup n crackers. I bought an expensive human hair wig but hardly wore it cos it was so itchy and hot,especially in summer.When you wash human hair wigs,the style falls out and you have to restyle it again.They look good but are more high maintenance than a synthetic wig(which keeps its style).I mostly wore caps/hats n scarves which I ordered from www.headcovers.com -cheap and delivered to your door.They also have cheap wigs. My motto is prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Tonya xx
