How do you decide what to do to feel an iota of your old self after losing your hair? I'm currently living in a beanie hat as I have a small amount of hair left at the front and back. Once this goes I do not know what to do... I've always had a lot of hair, kept it in a reasonable condition but taken it for granted. Do I try for a full on wig or look for a clip in piece if I keep the sides.
I certainly cannot rock the cool, bald chick look as I have the ugliest head in history. There must...
I’m not entirely sure of why I’m here everything I seem to do, every where I seem to look, it’s all in slow motion. My world has been ripped apart by this horrible word that I can’t even type. My thought and feelings are like when I was a child to which that all that was around is far too big, Bigger than me and I am a insignificant being that can’t climb out of a situation that is entirely out of my hands.
Im all very new to this blog stuff so forgive me if i ramble !
My journey began last November (2017) when i found a "tiny" lump in my right breast. It was getting near christmas, my new career was just getting started and i felt better than i had in years having been suddenly widowed a few years earlier. The GPs were always busy, you always end end getting something in their waiting rooms, don`t you? So I left it a few weeks to see if it would disappear. No it didnt, so off i went, aghh...
Hello
I'm new to this and have never used any site like this before. By chance just after Christmas I found a tiny lump on the back of my neck, my doctor said it was nothing to worry about but he'd send me for a scan anyway. Cut a long story short that lump was fine but they found lumps in my thyroid. 5 weeks ago I had my right side of my thyroid removed. I've now been diagnosed with pt3 follicular papillary thyroid carcinoma. It's all been so quick it's almost like a blur. In the space of...
Hi guys so I've recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer and also a moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with lymphovascular space involvement positive I'm waiting to find out what treatment I need was just wondering if anyonelse has both and what should I expect
Life is a beach, or so they say, and then you die.
Mine’s actually quite a nice beach, and I’m not dead yet, not by any stretch of the imagination; my beach admittedly has a bit of pollution, but that’s largely been my own fault and now I’m older I look after it better, try to keep it clean, and I’m sure its gradually improving.
But I do have one big problem with my beach. Well, it’s actually a problem in the water. There is something in it. A shadow. Not a terribly...
Hello - I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Renal Cancer last February. Initially, I was prescribed Sunitinib which I had to stop after one tablet due to a severe allergic reaction. I am now taking Fotivda/Tivozanib a TKI. First one will be later this evening. I would be really grateful to learn of other experiences and any do's and don'ts
Thanks

So I went to my GP for numerous ear infections & mentioned the “belated happy 40th” sun spot!! She booked me in the following week & referred me straight away!
The following day I was booked in & that Wednesday a week later I had been told you’ve cancer but not a worrying one! My heart stopped I felt sick & my husband sat there listening & took it in - I then had a biopsy which was painful , however I swept it under the carpet 
Then the wait for the biopsy & it hit...
Back at the start of 2018 i was a newly married 27 yer old, looking forward to an amazing honeymoon and I'd just found out I was expecting my first baby. Things were absolutely amazing, until all of a sudden they weren't.
I havnt spoken about my Bladder Cancer diagnosis on this site yet but have been reading it ever since my diagnosis and have found it a great support. May is Bladder Cancer awareness month so it seemed like a good time to share my story. I have also started my own blog: https...
