Hey you look great and it doesn’t look that uncomfortable, I am going try to use the cold cap today :cold_face:
Where are you all finding these online tutorials, they sound helpful :grinning:

@fowkey72 Paxman website has a really good video. Make sure the plastic cap underneath is well fitted and the helmet strap is secured ie chipmunk look! Good luck

If you go on the look good feel better website. There’s one face to face one on make up n skin care, really good and you get a load of free ones to bring home. Then the others, like nails, hair loss are online… x

I attended the make up one face to face this week and it’s real good. Great goody bag! I found it hard to get a face to face appt which fell at the right time with chemo, but it found one and it was great x

@cruising are you all set for your last EC next week?

@sunshine17 So sorry to hear about your migraine last night… how have you been today?

My day 3 has been pretty good so far. I met a friend in the park this morning for an hour’s walk, then home for a spot of lunch, followed swiftly by a little nap. So far so good. :crossed_fingers:

@saints33 Just out of interest, what day did it start coming out? I’m on fortnightly EC, but I know that some ladies are every 3 weeks.

Such beautiful skin :slight_smile: Chemo can really help some of us out there.

Ah that sounds like a good day. I’ve just been on the online zoom nail session, which was good, and lots participants had cameras on which is always good! Took my mind off feeling sick for a while!

I had my first chemo on April 28th and my hair started falling out a lot this week. I just shaved it an hour ago!
