Hi everyone im new here, recently diagnosed with a nasty fast spreading incurable rhabdomyosarcoma which has all but paralysed my right leg. I started chemo 3 weeks ago and now my hair has all fallen out, now I thought I had prepared myself for this, buying beanies, wigs etc and mentally prepping myself up....   but you know I'm in mourning it was traumatic, luckily I have a small and perfectly formed head! Who knew! Anyway still coming to terms, it's only hair it'll grow back, I'm getting married in February so perhaps not in time for the big day! The good news is my chemo appears to be working and everything heading in the right direction which is the positive to take from this I guess. Thanks for welcoming me into the group and getting that load of my chest!

    Chemo working and getting married, sounds pretty good to me. Rainie put a picture of a henna tattoo on here, now that was spectacular and will knock your guests for 6. Bestest wishes. X
