I'm starting chemo sometime in January. The anxiety the waiting is causing is unreal. I’m just wondering did anyone use a special pillow case and if so did it help ?
I’ve read about silk pillow cases and others that say they help with heart loss and breakage. I wondered if people found this to be the case and if it was worth buying one.
I am just about to have my last round of chemo - which will be my 6th! I have had a silk pillow case the whole way through and no hair has fallen out in bed - it's mainly when I brush. I did cold cap and my hair was thin to start with but I have enough to look normal from the front and I wear headbands to cover a bald patch I have. I had 3 x EC and I am having my last of 3 x Docetaxel on Monday.
The worst thing about chemo is the unknown - once you get into it it's not as bad as you think and most days are good.
