Hi all, third chemo next wednesday will be halfway through yeah! I mainly feel really good even though lots of people keep telling be it will get so much worse, not very helpful and obviously we are all different, still make the most of feeling good and doing lots incase things do change. I even love my wig, my hair has thinned but no bald patches yet so hopefully the coldcap is doing its job. My wig is so much easier…
My hair had been coming out for a week was really getting me down as longish and very dark so there seems to be hair everywhere, even in the dishwasher! Decided this morning to get my lovely hubby to cut it much shorter and start wearing my wig, I dreaded it and we were both really nervous but thank goodness I did I feel so much better and back in control! Has to be a bonus at the moment, can't control much else x

Hope you lovely people are getting on ok, take care x

Had my first chemo yesterday, used the cold cap which I found really easy and not uncomfortable almost good to have a distraction!Didn't find the chemo quite so easy my chemo nurse said I have very small veins and my body went into fight of flight mode meaning the blood was pumping round my vital organs but not so much in my arms, meant the chemo was really slow going in just the first one took longer that all the drugs…
