Hi @Ausmum2 we are all here to help and between us we have some pretty good tips. This forum has helped me enormously. I will mention @Gavroche because she has put up some excellent tips for using ice on your hands and feet. If you search up ‘Ice therapy success - no peripheral neuropathy’, you should see the discussion. There are some great pictures as well. I totally recommend giving it a go.
You will definitely have times where it can be overwhelming, I know I did. Allow yourself to feel all of those feelings, but remember there is help available too. Focus on now and don’t let your mind race ahead - I know that is easy to say, but something that really helped me was to say, ‘At this moment’. It kept my focus on what was happening now, rather than worrying about too far ahead. You absolutely will get through this.
It’s great your daughter is a hairdresser, she will be able to give advice and I love the idea of a sassy cut!
I had a port too and it was brilliant - it makes the treatment easier. It is only natural that you will be feeling anxious about the first treatment, but once you have done it, you will settle in to the routine. You will know when you feel the most tired and you will know when you feel more like doing things. One thing I really think helped me was knowing that the doctors and nurses really want you to be as well as possible, they don’t want you feeling unwell. They will be doing everything they can to support you. Let me know if I can help with anything. Take care, Mx
