I found this blog by an English breast surgeon who got BC herself to be incredibly useful & informative when I was first diagnosed. And then most especially the chemo guide when I found out I had to have it myself. She hasn't posted for a long time but a notification just popped into my inbox, she's writing again. So if…
Hi It has been one year since my TC chemo and my hair is slowly growing back and I feel I need a trim. Before my breast cancer diagnosis I didn’t have a hairdresser I went to regularly and used the cheap places. I have been apprehensive about getting my hair trimmed to remove the curls. I feel a bit silly asking this…
Hi ladies Just wondering if anyones hair on scalp actually grew back after AC? Mine seems to be just a little. But kind of expecting to lose it again (hopefully not 🙄) during Taxol. Would like to hear others experiences. 💕❤️
I am happy to have my eye lashes and eyebrows back. Happy to see hair on my head slowly growing back. Don't even mind it's salt and pepper in colour. But my face is looking like a hairy yetti. Could not be coping with that so I had a facial with an alkaline wash that melted it all away. Dmk products used. The facial cracks…
Hello beautifuls, So I’m tossing up between pre shave and trying the cooling cap. Has anyone has success with the cooling cap ?? I’ve had a conversation with my 15 year old son and he wants me to shave as he doesn’t want to watch it fall out. I think he was very brave for telling me this. I’m just wondering if anyone has…
Hi All, I was diagnosed with ER + BC in Dec 2020, Grade 3 stage 2b, as it reached two lymph nodes. I had a pet scan after surgery biopsy results from lumpectomy, and there was no distant metastasis anywhere. I have just completed my third round of doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide with one more too go. Hair has started well…
Hi, I’m currently just a little over two years post chemo. I had DCIS. As I was premenopausal, and given my type of cancer, I was prescribed tamoxifen and zoladex. My hair was always one of my best features. I know it’s such a small thing to be concerned with given what I’ve been through (and I’m just grateful to be alive…
Hi everyone I'm happy to see that I am getting little black spikes that I hope will grow back as eyelashes after chemo. Did anyone have any success using eye lash serums or I just need to be patient for them to grow naturally. Cheers
Haven't been here for a while.. works kept me busy.. and because of my profession people expect me to cope, to manage, to know how to deal with all this BC malarkey... I go to work each day smile with a brave face and manage the case files off 65 vulnerable people... see some terribly sad situations... and I sit here,…
