Big big hugs xx

Hi that is one over and done with, good luck with the cooling cap. Have you been told about the look good feel good program.\, if not ask a really good day showing you tricks with make up at the end of the day you end up with a bag of make up. Hopefully you will not have many side efffects, one day at a time xxx

Just hang in there beautiful.  I know how cliche it will sound but this will all be over before you know it.  I know right now it doesn't feel that way but just hang in there.  The tears are normal, the fear is real, it sucks so bad that we have to go through this.  The first time is usually the worst because of the unexpected and uncertainty and fear.  Take deep breaths, you will find the oncology staff and other patients very kind and helpful.  You take it one step at a time, one chemo at a time and just think, after today you can say yes, first chemo done and dusted!  Big big hug xxx

@Shaylls just take one day at a time. Fear of the unknown is the worst! The thought of my first chemo sent me into a spin....had to remember to breathe and go to my happy place in my mind...not easy! Am sure the chemo nurses will look after you and give you heaps of tips and tricks to help you through. Hope the cooling cap is good to you.
You can do this!!!

@Shaylls You're on your way, deep breath! remember bit at a time! Its incredibly overwhelming and scary, but you will surprise yourself how you take it in your stride. Step at a time! dont look too far ahead and then its doable!!! and remember with the scalp cap you can change your mind any time you like, if you find it too much. You're doing OK!! Hugs Melinda xo
