I had my second chemo today (FEC) and still not sure how really how I feel.
Lost my hair over the weekend which came as a suprise - more suprised at how quick it happened and how addictive it was to pull out!! Hair loss started on Thursday and by Monday morning I had to shave off the little that was left. Now worried about losing my eyebrows - but hey due to power of the internet I have ordered false eyebrows ! Who'd have thought it !
I feel quite positive about the whole thing so far apart from the ice cream head aches during treatment, the thought of being bald (too late now), putting on weight from all the comfort eating etc but am suprised how much I hate being centre of attention. I hate talking about myself and get frustrated with it.
Also quite suprised how cold one's head can get !
I wasn't keen on forums as some of the one's I had looked at when I was initially diagnosed I found quite depressing but this one seems to be so much positive and supportive - hence my first blog - you all inspired me.
Thanks for sharing your stories good and bad it is nice to read about similar experiences or to have some idea of what to expect x
