Hi Yasmin... I've just been reading your blog.. and feeling for you... I had my second round of Chem Thursday .. every 3 weeks for 12 weeks then I move onto weekly for 9 weeks... sound similar?
This round hasn't been to bad...but the nausea has been worse... oh and the hair.... It was probably day 14 after my first treatment that it started breaking off... I then had it shaved to a number 2 (about 2 or so cm in length).. it then started moulting slowly mainly when I was in the shower..and after when I was drying it. Yes parts of my scalp were to sore to touch, itchy... odd (unbearable at times)... but last night (round 2 day 2) it just started to fall out big time in the shower and on my towel... I'd had enough..It was thin and very white/grey - ugly. So today (when my son was on a play date) my husband first used his beared trimmer then a couple of razers to get rid of it.
My oncologist said to moisturise with cheap moisturiser.. I had some Billy Goat stuff that smells and feels divine so I'm using that.
It's gone.. but it will come back... a sign that this 'thing'... is nearly over!!! My skin is also crap... dry and red.... Monday I'm off to a Look Good.. Feel Better session and looking forward to it!! and shortly.. I'm going looking for a beer!!
take care and let me know how you are going.... we're all in this together.
