What has helped you through your journey?
I thought I would start a post to see what has helped people through their journey, so that maybe something might help others.
I will start with:
Ahh Bra Type tops - I found these great post op...
Forum Discussion
I also have found strangers to be wonderful.
I walk around bald, indoors most of the time and I rarely get stared at, and have had cancer survivors come up to me to tell me it is OK, youcan get through it, they are ..... years cancer free.
I took cupcakes for everyone at chemo on my last day (even though I still go every 21 days for my Herceptin, my actual chemo was over) and I also took a container of mixed dried fruit and nuts for those who were watching there diets as some patients do (not everyone at our chemo clinic is on chemo, some come for blood transfusions etc as well, and there are those who like me have Herceptin and are over the actual chemo), I am not one of them :o) I eat whatever my body is interested in as my appetite is still poor.
A few people have thought I have shaved my head for the shave for a cure thingy and have asked me and I have just laughed and said no they shaved there heads for me :o), It is a chemo style :o)
What a lovely man to give you the champage, and you obviously put his mind at rest seeing you have your reaction to know that if it happened it could be dealt with and off you go. Were you able to continue with that drug after an anaphylactic reaction odid you have to go onto a different drug?
