Re: First chemo!
@Keeping_positive1, Thankyou for your lovely comment, I’m afraid my locks have departed. Had a short bob last week, made me feel like Rod Stewart! Now due to constant scalp ache my lovely daughter in law came for a care visit (baa humbug covid) and trimmed all off. So photo is just a reminder of a great day out at a rock n roll festival early last year. And happier days to come for us all. Good luck for your treatment too.Re: First chemo!
Oh Girls, thank you so much. I had to have daughter in law come and give me a short do!! I was so upset when I was as covered by my hair, was more traumatic than I thought it would be. Couldn’t handle it all over the place. had a shower and put on a lovely turban that dear friends gifted me. Went to bed and had proper beanie on all night… very odd! This morning I pulled beanie off, dressed myself then glanced in the mirror! I laughed myself silly as my ‘do’ had turned me into Rod Stewart! It was all standing straight up. so from distress and tears to laughter that had me holding my sides. So I guess that’s what may happen afterwards. Second chemo tomorrow, hoping cell count is up. Going to send my gorgeous man out to find g free gingernuts while I’m getting dosed up. can def vouch for ginger slice in warm water. hydralite. Hoping the nausea doesn’t grab again. Thanks for the support! I’m in Talbot. Vic. Let’s all keep getting well xxxRe: First chemo!

Ha ha. arm feeling better, at least I Can touch area without feeling lightening bolt. my white blood cells dropped to 1.1 so ended up in hosp thurs fri nights. had injection to boost production. Hopefully will be up by next chemo on Thursday. Ever onward. We will get better. Xx
