I will be thinking of you having your first cycle of chemo tomorrow @dougal
I had an appointment with an oncology nurse this afternoon where she went through what to expect before my first cycle of TC chemo on Friday and all of the possible side effects and ways of dealing with them. It was an informative session. They gave me a little pack with a soft toothbrush, oral care products and a MooGoo oncology care pack. I read about MooGoo in another post on here and I wasn't sure where to get it, so I was happy to get that.
I am not sure about using the cold cap and staying for the extra time, but will think about it. I am getting a hair cut tomorrow morning, so I will at least have less hair to fall out if it does. My hair is currently a bit longer than shoulder length, and I am planning on getting it cut at least chin length, or maybe a pixie cut, if I get the nerve up.
