Hi Joy, thank you for your post. I like the idea of painting the nails! My toe nails are still suffering from the first round of chemo in 2009, so it will be interesting to see how they go this time. Yes I have decided to shave my head, probably next week. i think that will help me to feel more in control of things. I am not a vain person at all, and thought I'd breeze through the hair-loss thing easily. Last time it wasn't the fact that I was losing my hair that i found distressing...it was the actual act of losing my hair that distressed me. Finding it on my pillow, coming out in the shower...all that kind of stuff I found quite upsetting. Once my hair was gone I was much happier.
Yes I know what you mean about the PICC line....i havent decided what to do yet. A port may be a better way to go...less hassles perhaps...I dont know. Yes herceptin is for 12 months (or longer I think) so whatever I choose I have to be able to live with for quite a while.
You are so lucky to have breezed through chemo. So far I just feel tired..no nausea yet.
Thanks again for your kind words Joy, take care, Celeste xx
