So I’m having a lumpectomy on the 10th August (that’s if my BP comes down 
) and then 6 weeks later, so around 21st September I’ll start chemo.
Ive begun thinking about and exploring people’s experiences regarding chemo and firstly I think I’ve finally decided not to do the cold cap. I’ve spoken to a couple of hairdresser friends and decided to just lose the hair.
Next week I’m having my hair cut shorter, it’s already in a short bob but it’s going to go shorter. I may go even shorter at the next cut but we’ll see.
Ive discovered that I can still continue to have my gel nails on so that will make me feel better and I’ll have black as recommended by so many people. I may have some swirls too on my nails so at least I won’t feel like a total goth 
Ive also decided to get my ears re-pierced as they closed up years ago, so at least I can wear some pretty earrings.
My next job is to look into micro blading - I know very little about this so need to book an appointment and find out what they suggest, costs etc
Finally I’m going to go into Boots and ask about decent concealer/foundation etc in a bid to make myself look half human. I’ve never really spent much on make up apart from a bit of lipstick and mascara.
Im basically grasping at anything to make me feel feminine and it’s also giving me something to focus on too.
I’m also listing the boring stuff I may need e.g. ear thermometer, gavisgon, Imodium, moisturiser, alcohol free mouthwash etc.
