Hi Leeset, like Trev, I had Cisplatin and 5fu,I did not loose my hair although it did thin out a wee bit,no one even noticed,so hopefully Trev will not need a hat!

So good to read that Trev has a positive attitude towards his treatment as it really helps. We have to go with flow,eh! Feel free ask me anything and if I can help,I will!

I hope that tomorrow goes well.

Best wishes, big hugs. Alison.x
