Chemotherapy

Hi SOI,

What type of Chemo is it & how many sessions are you having ?

Justine

Chemotherapy for a womb  cancer. It is Paclitaxel and Carbonplatin. 

Thanks for getting back to o me

It is six sessions. 

Hi SOI,

I had the same 6 sessions over 18 weeks, did they say you would lose your hair ?

Justine

Yes 

At what stage will I begin to lose my hair?

Hi SOI,

I started to lose my hair shortly after my second session, it just started coming out one morning when I was brushing it which I found a bit upsetting but once I got over that a few days later I asked my friend to shave it for me & my husband also did BRAVE THE SHAVE for McMillan which made me feel a whole lot better ! What else would you like to know ?

Thanks so much for this information. 

Were you able to go to work or work from home?

No not able to go to work, I'm not sure about working from home though. I would speak to your nurse for advice.

Justine

Thanks so much.  God bless  

What are the common side effects of chemotherapy i should be aware of?
