Side effect of chemo includes dry mucous membranes - can be a problem in tender areas where hair once grew and now no longer does!! To avoid urinary tract infections drink lots of fluid but Waitrose baby butter also helps to keep outside areas moist, and friction free - no artificial ingredients either. - Just thought this might help someone - happened upon it by accident.

This is a new journey for me- unexpected diagnosis on Breast screening -and devastated by the diagnosis. My days are currently completly dominated by thoughts of cancer. I have been told cure is the aim but the journey is obviously going to be difficult. Devastated by trying to come to terms with never being able to return to work. My manager, on the day my husband told him my diagnosis - just 24 hours after I had been told - gahthered together the workforce and announced I had Breast Cancer, and would be off sick . How can I return to workplace which gives me so little respect and consideration?

Starting chemo next week - huge anxiety about this - concerns over nausea mainly. any tips for managing hair loss - how long after 1st chemo does it start to fall out - any views on turbans/scarves versus wigs, and do false eyelashes help?
