First chemo

Hi Hope everyone is feeling well. I had my first Chemo today. Felt abit uptight but relaxed when I got there. Took my closest friend with me which was great. Decided to stay at my parents tonight as my children are at their dads this week and I didn't want to be alone. My mum noticed when I took my scarf off that my hair is really falling out now and she got very teary. I told her it's good it's coming out as the sensitivity might stop. I only have about 1mm of hair after I had it clippered off. I'm proud to be a baldy but have started wearing scarves at the shops as I feel a bit yuk when people stare. The kids notice and say people feel sorry for me but that's not something I want. It's so obvious with no hair or a scarf that you have cancer... Frustrating when I'm trying to lead a normal life. Saw my oncologist yesterday. She has halved my dex meds and prescribed some sleeping tablets that are short term so fingers crossed. I hope everyone is doing well with their treatments. Would love to hear about how treatments are going Have a great weekend... Find that funny thing that makes you laugh Mel xxx
