2nd Chemo

Had my operation 7th June lump and lymph nodes now going through Chemo had my second treatment still through a canula as having PICC line for next treatment. So far found it not to bad feel very tied on first few days after but not too bad after that.Keeping my appetite regular with small and often snacks and so far not had to take any sickness pills have ginger biscuits two or three times a day and that obviously helps i think.

Lost my hair at first Chemo but it hasnt affected me at all taking it all in my stride what else can you do. I have purchased some gorgeous silk scarfs on line and I feel very glam when I wear them. I have also purchased a beautiful wig which I will be wearing when the weather turns cooler it really is lovely and I cant wait to wear it out. I am keepingmy standards up as much as possible putting on my makeup each day as I want to feel like me.

I am having to be very positive and strong about my treatment as my Partner has had a nervous breakdown and I am going throughn this treatment all on my own without him righn now and its hard but onwards and upwards.  

Hi lucylocket,

It’s great to hear you’re managing the chemo well at the moment and those silk scarfs sound great.

I’m sorry to hear your partner isn’t able to support you as much as you might need right now, if either of you would like to speak to one of our helpline nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 6000.

Take care, Becca at Breast Cancer Care.
