Hi @jmichelle
i have passed on all my headwear but hopefully others will respond.
I also had TC chemo and yes I lost my hair and eyebrows and lashes to a fair extent! It’s all manageable with a bit of planning. I found cutting my hair short first then going for a buzz cut once it started to fall out, helped me feel still in control!
Must say losing brows was a bit harder but thAt happened towards the end of chemo and by then I was pretty good at drawing them in! If you can get to a Look Good Feel Better workshop in your local health facility that is really great as well.
TC chemo is ok as they usually do it in a three weekly cycle where in days after you feel a bit average but then pick up in weeks 2 and 3. Suggest you stock up with suggested drugs for side effects in advance if you can manage it - paracetamol, Movicol and things to prevent constipation, Imodium for diarrhoea etc. clinic should give you a list and tell you what to take as a preventative! Try to suffer as little as possible so have a low threshold to take medications for the side effects. Keep track of what worked for next time. Walking, Sunshine and fresh air helped as did rest and being kind to yourself.
All the best!
