HAIR FALLING OUT ----- CANT SLEEP ---- SO STRESSED NOT FORGETTING WAKING UP SOAKED !!!!!

Hi Wilma

My hair fell out 9 days after my chemo session, at first it really stressed me out but I took control and decided to shave off the remainder. The hospital referred me for a wig and I did get one but I didn’t like it.  I chose to wear some cheap cotton hats from Temu and even stopped wearing them.  I got to the point where I thought sod this, I survived cancer and to hell what people thought. My hair has grown back in fully grey and I have chemo curls, can’t do a bloody thing with them, my hair was always straight before.  I’m 59 in early September.

As for the sweats, I bought a large dog cooling mat and slept on it or I got up and sat in the back garden while hubby changed the bed.  They’ve settled down now but they were almost nightly.  The cooling mat helped.  I did look into buying cooling sheets but they were rather expensive.

Hope this helps a bit
