Ok, so this might be inappropriate, but there's so many horrible fears and expectations about chemo side effects (thanks tv!), and it truly affects everyone differently ... so I thought I'd start a thread for people to share the odd little side effects!

Ones that maybe aren't mentioned or talked about ... ones that aren't serious ... ones that are funny!

I'll start.

I lost all my butt hair, so it squeaks when I wipe.

It's ridiculous. No-one warned me! Smile

Slightly less funny is my consultant said "Hey, at least you won't get your period during chemo". Well, my body said hold my beer cos that's still happening 12 weeks in.

Hair on my underarms has stopped, but leg hair and the hormone beard are still full throttle.

Anyhoo, so that's my funny little chemo nonsense. Would love it if anyone else wants to share!
