Good morning everyone, I hope you are all travelling ok.
I'm 1 week over radiation treatment and I have a little bit of a pink blush on my skin and a little patch of itchiness on my chest, but the sorbolene seems to sooth that well. All very minor.
I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said everything looks good, and I'm booked in for my first anniversary mammogram on 4 November. I booked it now as apparently it's hard to get a booking that time of year as everyone wants to get it done before Christmas.
My hair is growing well, I have completely stopped wearing the caps, just hats for sun protection now. I've had some lovely comments about my new hair style, having had long hair for years, which has given me lots of confidence š it's still very short, but if it keeps growing at this rate I'll have a pixie cut in no time.
What shampoo are you using on your new hair? I'm currently using Johnsons baby shampoo but will switch to something else soon, something mild and natural. Maybe Aveno oat shampoo, I don't want to dry out my scalp.
I have baby eyebrows and eyelashes, I'm very excited to see them again š
