Another nervous newbie here!

Hi Lottie 

Welcome to the club although im sorry you found yourself here. I had the same regime as you are going to have. With regards to hair loss i think i had a little bit more come out when combing after washing but nothing that anyone else would notice. You may have already seen on here but if you are haveing a picc line for your chemo get yourself a limbo sleeve for showering etc i managed to get my pump in mine when i was having the chemo. Good luck for the 5th. Sending hugs. Xx

Hi Bungle1,

Thank you so much for your reply, it was the oncologist being so definite about losing hair that concerned me as everyone else had only mentioned hair thinning a bit. It’s very reassuring to hear about your experience and also top tip to get a limbo sleeve - I hadn’t thought of that one!

Hello and welcome, Lottie

I didn't lose much hair at all, and I think most of us here have a little thinning but nothing like some other cancer treatments and not really anything noticeable to others.

Well done for pushing against your GPs diagnosis when you were told it was a fissure. I hope all goes well with your planning scan and that you can enjoy Christmas.

All the best. x
