Thanks @Abbydog and @Mazbeth I really appreciate the posts and encouragement and to know it’s “doable”. My head has been pretty good so far... until this morning. When I’ve discovered I’m feeling really frightened/anxious about what lays ahead. You know “the unknown” of it and the “how terrible will it be” part. I do know myself well enough to know that it’s always worse in my head, but it’s really dawning on me today the seriousness of where I’ve found myself (and suddenly as we all do).
I really appreciate hearing that you’ve been through. It gives me comfort (and hope). I’m terrified of the triple negative aspect (that combined with losing my Dad to pancreatic cancer 18 months ago is sending me to DNA testing, as Dad was adopted so no known family history traceable).
I have already been told the clinic my treatment will be done at is Paxman clinic, I have the chemical free shampoo and conditioner ready (and dry shampoo) - benefit of a hairdresser daughter (who has also given me a sassy twiggy cut, so that we can get good skin to cold cap contact as I have very thick hair and so it looks good even when filthy!) and I have my silk pillowslips too.
Great tips you’ve given me (and I’ll find myself a toweling sweatband).
I’d love to know more about the hands and feet part please!
