So today has been emotional but a positive day. Took the leap and hubby shaved my head after clumps falling out for days ,actually really comfortable in my head scarfs and wigs at the ready emotionally I'm drained but ready for second chemo Wednesday bang in the middle of half term my kids off so challenging very nervous but determined to keep going and to embrace the new me hugs to you all.
Good for you. For me, the head shave was both a concern and a relief. It felt so much better in one way, I didn't have to cope with the emotion of hair falling out in clumps, but the scarves pretty much told the world I had cancer! I found the wig was the absolute best for me, it looked natural so allowed me to have control over whether I shared my diagnosis or not.
Am glad you took the plunge and did this, and I really hope your second chemo is kind to you with not so many side effects and you can enjoy half term. Best wishes
A big step indeed 
️ one I was also relieved to make and ‘get out of the way’. Re half term, mine was 11 during my chemo, which was throughout the summer hols and into Oct half term too. So many people said ‘if there’s anything I can do….’ I thought there’s one massive thing, help me keep things fun for my daughter where I can. I asked all her friends parents to include my daughter in their days out over the holidays so that she still got to go to wherever, but I could rest. Even if they were staying local, a trip to the park and ice cream, the local pool, etc, or a day at chessington or Thorpe park (insert what’s local to you) she had a great time, I rested, and importantly didn’t feel she missed out as I was ill. I hope you have a few parents who could help you with that xx
