anyone else starting? first one is Wednesday, not going to lie, FREAKING out!
Thank you very much for sharing your journey with me and explaining things I had a call today I will be having pic line and other checks on the 15th then on 16th my chemo will begin it has helped to actually know the dates and I can make plans have a good weekend and thank you
Very similar to me. Have you decided if you want to try cold cap if it's offered? It's something if you want to try you have to do on your first cycle. You can always stop it as I did if you don't like it.
cold cap not offered, and i already had first cycle, the chemo has left me feeling filmy, like film over my tongue and a bit fuzzy headed. but hey bonus, the psoriasis on my elbow is cleared
You need to speak to your team and get something to clear your tongue. Maybe red card team. I had mouthwash prescribed throughout and anti thrush medicine
Fingers crossed the hair will come back soon. I've just got confidence to go out without headscarf and it's only three months post chemo
