Today I took my Mum to her wig fitting in Banbury at a place called - Postiche. The ladies who worked there were lovely. We were greeted with a smile and a cup of tea!
The lady who looked after my Mum's appointment was brilliant, she had 20+ years experience as a hairdresser so she knew her stuff.
We were completely satisfied with the outcome of the wig. What we had anticipated to be yet another 'awful experience' in the world of Cancer/hair loss was absolutely...

Went to my local Friday, to met a dear friend.
I never felt so alone, sat on my own at the end of the bar with a arms length gap around me in a very packed local, of all neighbours, parents of my children's friends and people I've known for years.
one guy who knows me well just tapped me on my back and said I'm very brave, before I could comment he walked away . That happened twice.
I went home after a couple of hours with my Friend but felt totally alone and really down. Which...
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I finished my chemo (4 x TC) on 16th February and my radiotherapy finished on 1st April. My hair is starting to grow (hooray) albeit it's not very much yet. However my eyebrows and eyelashes are continuing to drop out. My bottom lashes are gone altogether and the top ones are nearly gone. My eyebrows have also gone very sparse. Is this normal as I thought they would start to grow the same time as my hair

I've recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer and will soon be starting a course of chemotherapy.
I've decided to start a blog so that I can share my experiences and thoughts as I embark on a program of chemotherapy to fight this invidious disease.
I had my colonoscopy on Wednesday. Ouch! But I think the bowel cleanser (Moviprep) was the worst part. 2 Litres of the stuff but boy did it do the trick. I felt hollow the next morning.
The colonscopy showed up not only the main tumour around my rectum but another potentially cancerous polyp further up.
I went to see my consultant yesterday to get the full picture and it was not good news. I have advanced rectal cancer (stage 4) and it has spread to the right side of my liver. Some good news in that...
