Thank you ladies. It’s actually having a good support network around you that helps. Hubby annoys me sometimes but has been fantastic. My parents took me out today just for some fresh air, got home and even with a cold hubby had cleaned top to bottom 
xxxx
Hope you are home soon Suzy
I think with young kids you just have to get on with it! You have no choice. My girls are 5 and 7 and are generally very good. We don’t have any famky around us but hubby’s work is flexible and our mums have been coming to stay (mother in law arrives tomorrow 
) for my first week where I am generally useless.
Everyone I know have been so helpful and caring though. There is good in the world ?
I have actually been to a 50th birthday party tonight! Didn’t think I wokld be well enough having had my fec#2 yesterday but I’ve had a surprisingly good day. Think I may need a full day of rest tomorrow though!
Nighty night ladies x
Hello ladies
Got back from Filey Friday but been trying to catch up on washing and ironing because fec2 next week and I’m generally pretty washed out for the first 5/6 days.
It’s sounds like some of you have been in the wars, I’m so sorry for everyone going through it, I have tried to be positive throughout, but started to lose my hair big style whilst away at to go to hairdressers to have it cut even shorter, but the fall out was really bad and it started to irritate me itching etc, so yesterday Richard shaved it off to just barely there, I look awful of course Richard says I look lovely, bless him, but I hardly recognise myself, my son is coming today for lunch, he is in army and doesn’t get home much, and I feel proper fed up, as always I will put a brave face on but this situation we are in is a bit of a bigger to be honest, I know it’s nothing compared to hospital stays but I really didn’t think it would bother me, oh well full face of makeup and wig getting an airing, have a good day you lovely people sorry for moaning much love Carmia x x
Hi ladies sounds like you have all been through it this week. I hope this week everything will improve for you. Ange good to hear that hubby is pulling his weight and I also have full admiration for you and anyone with a young family. I have been spring cleaning this weekend ready for next chemo on Thursday. Hubby still coughing but is getting back to his cheeky self! Big hug ladies xxxxxx
Hi ladies hope your day goes okay with your son Carmia. Like you and Scaredchelle my second FEC is due on Wed. My hair is falling out big time. My daughters are coming today and I want yo cook so for hygiene purposes I’m having to wear a Turban. Suzy I’ve private messaged you re chemo before op as didn’t want to bore everyone. Hope you got it Try and have a great day ladies Love to everyone. Xxx:-)
Hi ladies, Carmia just try And think of the hair as a temp thing. I am convinced I am going g to look awful. Did any of you get a barrage of spots at all. Have woken up with loads this morning 
when did the hair start to come out. I am on day 7 xxx
Sarah another lady ive befriended has just had her second T and her hair is growing back now although shes not impressed that its white!! Xx
I think mine maybe white or back to my original ginger. I am not that worried but just want to know when to expect it. Have some tingling on my scalp already. Never mind my new short cut is not bad just waiting for the shave xxxx
I’ve not seen my real colour for years but from the roots I can tell there is plenty of grey in there. Wouldn’t it be fantasic if it did grow back without it? Well we can dream eh? :smileyhappy:
Hi Ange I had loads of spots in my second week… some blind and quite painful. Have left them alone and they are gone now. Xx
Thanks TC I have loads of blind ones over my lips and weirdly in my ears xxx
I’m like you Peggy not seen my natural colour got so long, but when Richard shaved it off or at least took it down to 1cm it looked dark which is my natural colour, there is also grey there and the very obvious patches of where I’m bald, my wig was ok it went down well, I wouldn’t mind grey if it’s a nice grey, but I have curly hair I’m told it could come back straight, that would be nice. I know losing your hair is a small price to pay and in some ways I’m proud it shows I’m a fighter, as we all are, just sometimes I feel vulnerable, it’s pre chemo week, and I have my line done Tuesday, I had a lovely day with my boy, he said im beautiful inside and out, Richard says he still fancies me, all saying the right stuff, just takes some getting used to, my hair was my thing I lived my hair, I was silly to think it wouldn’t bother me, onwards and upwards, love to all Carmia x x
Lost all my hair in the second week. It all broke off but in tufts. I was ok until my friend shaved the rest quite short. Felt very vulnerable. Having a bad day. Still in isolation and frustrated as don’t know what’s happening. I had dyed my hair for years so it will be a shock to see the real colour when it eventually grows. I look like a clumpy shaved hedgehog. Taken to not covering head during the day if I’m in house. Too cold to go out bald. It is quite liberating and a real confidence boost. If I can face friends as a baldie then I can do anything.
Good night lovely people. xx
Big hugs Suzy. Looks like I may only have a week or so or hair for a while then. I not worried about loosing it but I am not the best looking person so going to look like uncle fester for a while . Never mind. Onwards and upwards xxxxx
Awww bless you Suzy, my heart goes out to you being in hospital, this is going to make us very strong, my hair also looks a bit like a hedgehog with alopecia in getting used to it, it’s easier to shower that’s for certain and I have a set of redundant straighteners, good luck to you Suzy I hope you have a decent night and tomorrow you get the answers you need, I will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts x x
Hi Madange. My mum made the worst comment without realising. She said when she saw me bald she thought I was my brother. I’m hoping she means the baldness as he has been dead for 7 years. I am going to count the savings from having no hair. May set the money aside for a post chemo treat. Have a good dayy. Onc coming to see me later, hopefully with better news and a plan to go forward. Xx
Suzy How r u doing this morning? Really feel for you stuck in there BBxx
Morning Ladies, Suzy I hope you are on the mend xxxx I have mouthful of ulcers today any advice?? Xxx
