Coping with the Heat.

It's a bugger Renny, no doubt about that.

We are staying in and opening as many windows as we can. Just laze around do nothing to heat yourself up.

So any cooking, the boyfriends job or just eat salad. In a couple of days it will be over and English weather will be back!

You are not terminal if you are still being treated. You are incurable but treatable like us lot on here.

There are loads of different chemo drugs, it is a friend, don't be frightened of it.

I'm not saying your situation isn't very unhappy but let your medical team do their magic, things could very easily start to look better.

Loads of people on here may have ideas to get you over this heat hurdle.

All the best.

I understand, I really struggle with anything over 18 degrees so the thought of the next couple of days scares me. The text I got from the nhs reminding me I’m in a vulnerable group so be careful didn’t help. 
I do find washing my hands in cold water helps a bit if you haven’t already tried that

Tip from Spanish relatives , for next two days keep all windows and doors closed, close blinds and curtains and stay inside. Hot air just comes in through windows and if there is no breeze...

Put hot water bottle in freezer and use to cool yourself down. Wet flannels on head when needed.  Who care what we look like.

Good luck xx

Yes i agree...we always get around 46 degrees here in summer...soooo blinds and windows closed, put a fan on if you got one...drink warm drinks..not hot and not cold. ( glad we have air con )

You are so right OBS wet flannels, damp skin and shade are what's need, we have something in common, our son in law is Spanish.

I hope everyone's ok after the last 48 hours of extreme heat. That was the most heat I've endured for a while, not to keen on that again.

I looked at the weather for the next few days back to low twenties and rain, British weather returns once again.

Thank you for the tip. I've also been told that wetting your wrists where the veins are is a good way of cooling yourself down quickly.
