June 2026 chemo starters

Hi everyone

Sorry for being a way a wee while, I needed a break from thinking about it all the time.

Slowly reading through everyone’s chat. I’m day 5 post 2nd cycle and feel like a human slug, not much movement and lots of fluid needed. Living on milk with Monin strawberry syrup added, no sweetener and easy to drink.

My main issues have been mucositis, reflux and oral thrush, along with overwhelming fatigue. Ended up with PICC line for round 2 which is much better.

Got my partner to shave my head on Sunday as the hair was falling like snow and it was annoying. Feels better but weird. Have my wig prescription but haven’t got to getting one yet.

He’s taken next week off and I’m hoping we can visit a couple of outside cafes/gardens. Hopefully on the up by Friday.

Hope you’re all coping in the heat x
