First Chemo
So i had my first chemo (AC) treatment 8 days ago. So far i've been ok, my only real side effect has been tiredness and light headedness. I haven't even had to use any of my anti-nausea medication ...

Hi Loz, I started losing clumps at day 20, and by day 23 I was fed up so shaved it all off, it was emotional but necessary.
The thing that got me through was the knowledge it would grow back, it did, and in between I wore nice hats and a wig..... Scarves etc didn't suit me.
One day my husband told me that I didn't need to wear anything if I didn't want to- it was just my skull, not a festering abscess , and I never looked back after that!
Remember you are not alone, and as hard as it is, you have many pink sisters travelling the same road.
Do attend a Look Good Feeling Better session if you possibly can, your self esteem will be enhanced and you will meet others experiencing similar.
