Hi Julie
I wishing you lots of luck with your journey. I am here if you need to ask any questions. You can make me a contact and then it is easier to contacty me if you have any specific things I can help you with.
We are all different and travel the journey differently. So far I have only had one outburst of why me and it isn't fair plus a few tears otherwise I have been fine. I have a long way to go yet and not sure if I will stay so strong. My attitude is if you need a good cry/scream/to vent then go for it. We need to get it out there.
i will suggest that when your scalp gets a bit sore/itchy get your head totally shaved clean as I found that the prickles made it hard to sleep on my pillow. Now all my hair is gone it is a lot easier.
If you keep your oncologist and chemo team informed of any side effects I have found they are very good at ensuring you the easiest road they can give you. I have found everyone so wonderful so far.
I am changing my chemo from Perth to Geraldton only because i am finding the travel and organisation too hard now. I will have to have radiotherapy in Perth as there is none in Gero. I have found the girls all wonderful in Gero as well so far, Wednesday will be the telling point.
I am hear for you if I can help in any small way.
Sending you all good vibes.
