Hello lovely people, and Welcome to the September Chemotherapy Chat! I cant believe its September already!
This thread is for all of you soldiers, going through chemotherapy to take a look at, ask questions, answer questions and be there for one another in a way only you guys know how.
If you want to find this post quickly, you can hit the 'Save In My Favourites' button.
For all of those of you going through chemotherapy, you are superstars. You are amazing, and you are fighting each and every day, you are my heroes. If you need any extra tips, our Chemo Tips Page is something you may find very helpful, and something that you may find you would like to share with others who are also going through chemo. One top tip, ask about parking at the hospital you are being treated at; for some Cancer patients parking is either free or discounted (big discount!) So it's worth asking about.
To get a sense of how the thread works, here is a link to the August chat which will be being locked from replies soon, but have a read anyway if you'd like to.
Remember, you're never alone, you have us! And, just try to focus on what your chemotherapy is doing. Its hopefully kicking your cancers butt.
I hope you are coping with me doing these! And I hope all of you are doing as well as you can do while going through this tough part of your journies.
Happy September Everyone,
Lots of love, hugs, light and healing to each and every one of you.

Ive just said this morning it takes me longer on morning now with new beauty routine ...Soft tooth brush ( little princess very cute ) mouthwash ,oral gel for the one persistent ulcer , tea tree facIal water wipes ,Vaseline for lips , Nivea to moisturise,nail strengther. Then gently run finger over hair . 
As yet I'm not wearing new wig as hair still here . It certainly felt comfy and was easy to put on . I did learn one thing eyebrow to hairline is four fingers..who knew lol
Have enjoyed Cumbria love the place but needed the confidence because no A&E So would have to travel back over Pennines only takes 1 1/4 hours but road can close due to accidents quite often . Would then have to go to Carlisle shorter journey but would rather be at home hospital if I did have to go in .
