Hello @Sister, hoping all goes really well today!

So far, so good. The nurse was able to flush the port and the blood came out so starting to relax a bit. Everyone is okay with me being shorn!

Best of luck today @sister. You've given away the cold cap at the same point as I did. It'll be a lot quicker today. And hurray on the the clipping. Everyone at home on board with it now? I've lost all the hairs except the eyebrows and eyelashes which have thinned but are still hanging in there. Still have to get through the hair drop portion of this cycle though. Fingers crossed! I love not having to pluck the chin bristles, and shave the legs & pits. The Brazilian took some getting used to; the skin needed time to adjust... Hope today goes well. K xox

Hi there @sister.  I was similar. I kept my eyebrows and eyelashes but lost the duck fluff on my face including my chin hairs lol (one of the perks). And some arm hair but not all of it. Definately lost the pubes and armpit and leg hair (again a perk)  hang in there love. Best of luck today.  Let me know if you need a chat just flick me a text.  Biggest hug. Margie xx

Vodka.... lots and lots of vodka. Lol.  Seriously.  I use a cotton doona rather than a feather. Sleep nude and drape the doona half on half off  I don’t get the flushes anymore but when I did I would sleep on a towel and have a squirty bottle of cold water by my bed to spray my face with that helped.

Thanks.  I know in reality that I'll be fine - after the original debacle, they take very good care of me - it just lurks in the back of my mind and I won't breathe freely until it's done.  And they do feed me very well.

Good luck luck today @sister 
The hair loss thing is strange. I've twice  ended up with what I will call a reverse Brazillian, youd  think the last thing you'd be bothered with during chemo is your bikini line, but there you go.
Giving the cold caps the flick will make today easier, and will certainly speed the process up. Bald really is OK. Mxxx
