Hi Ladies
I have my last chemo tomorrow all being well! I bought my victory Bell 🔔 on the weekend and have been practising ringing it! Well done @Katie46 for finishing chemo🥳 and we'll done @Paris_24 for finishing up the AC🥳 -the paclitaxel hopefully will be kinder to you..... keep up the treat regime!
@Rona thanks for the heads up about the snorkelling, I will probably have something like that too as mine was left side and I remember being told about having to hold my breath to avoid damage to the heart...oh joy!
I have a CT and mapping coming up but apparently I don't get tattoos which is disappointing!
My hair is already regrowing but blonde and fluffy....I was blonde before it fell out.... don't say it's white, call it platinum blonde.... and don't call it grey..... it's ash blonde!!! 😉 The hair seems to grow back everywhere you don't want it to.... like the sides of my face which is fluffy like a peach....
One of my nurses who has been through all of this herself did warn me about tearing up after the last chemo...apparently it's quite common!
Keep calm and carry on Ladies.... we've got this! Xxoo
