Hi Michelle, chemo does suck Honey, not nice that you're early on and the problems start. Shingles takes time to heal and it is very painful. Is it worth having a little time off work and giving yourself time to recover? My hair fell out exactly 2 weeks to the day from my first chemo, my hubby clipped my remaining hair short, and it was much easier to manage. I had a wig already organised so just wore that, and a little cotton cap in bed at night to catch the stubble as it fell out.
Just take care, and 1 day at a time, sending you a big cuddle, Trace ????????
