My hair started coming out on day 19 but my scalp was quite sore prior to that. As Afraser says, a cap worn at night eases that. I cut my hair short prior to it falling out (both times) and this also reduces the pain.
I have a port for my infusions. My first port was in my chest which they removed. This time around it is in my arm. Not sure what the choices are with pic lines.
My cancer returned in my lymph nodes which I found strange as the surgeon told me he did a clearance but the doctor doing my biopsy the second time around insisted most of my nodes were intact and that I must be mistaken (even though my paperwork states anxillery clearance) I was pretty annoyed too as the worst area is one that I have been complaining about pain in since the first diagnosis. I have moved on from this annoyance as it isn’t worth spending my energy on. It sounds as though they caught yours before it spread so whilst chemo is yuck, it is also doable. Just take one day at a time and don’t worry about what might happen as many breeze through it. Also, don’t be shy about asking for help.
Any questions just whack them up here and someone will be able to help.
Sending big hugs
