Nausea and the Big Chop

Hi Lunanoire,

 I am in total agreement chemo sucks I start my 3rd round of 6 rounds on the 5/10 and the 1st is always the worst because you don't know what side effects you'll get but if I have any problems I can just call my oncologist or the chemo nurses don't wait if you are having bad side effects talk to someone in your medical team or your GP, the chemo nurses are great as they can email your side effects to your oncologist but don't wait, and remember we are all here for you, just something I did that made the hair loss easier, I too had long hair halfway down my back, I got my husband to cut my hair into a bob also but then I had my hair cut again by a hairdresser as I thought it would be too hard once my hair starts to fall out, about a week and a half after starting chemo I got my husband to shave my head and I am glad I did as when it came out it wasn't a lot and I found it less traumatic, I am okay with it now but we are all here for you and I think you are inspirational and a strong person and you will only get stronger along this journey just take one day at a time and 1 treatment at a time you don't realise just how strong you are I didn't but I do now sending you a cuddle and a smile and lots of positive vibes Anita xx????????
