Thank you, I’m going to ask at my next appointment xxx
Unfortunately the Macmillan within my Trust does not do face to face. The nearest one is in Leeds.

Gerbera1 if you are able to get safely to a makeup counter near you and tell the assistant in any counter you need some tips and tricks on applying make up I am sure all of them will be happy to show you how to do this you could then maybe sign up for a remote one and you should get your goody bag prior to this do you do the online one, just a thought so you can know the tricks they use there was a girl online who did great tutorial about brows and lash faking and I found eyebrow stencils used with powder and a stiff little brush worked well for brows, that was a tip given to me by the lady who fitted my wig when I was going through chemo, just tips find what works for you, it takes bit of practice at first but you doin nail it Shi xx

Hi @yikes1 I’m TN and am on weekly PAC with carbo 3weekly and pembro every 6 weeks. I had been on HRT (am 49) before diagnosis. Definitely experiencing more hot flushes daily and night sweats. also getting very bloody nose every morning which is not fun 
. I’m Def counting down the weeks, I’ve got another 2 cycles of PAC/carbo then due to have 4 cycles of EC before surgery etc. I’ve got a Hickman line cos they couldn’t do the picc line - which was fine and certainly easier than cannula.

Hi everyone, hope you’re all on the mend I really do. I had my 3rd and last EC yesterday and OMG it hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel awful. Did not feel like this the 1st two.
The nausea and migraines are not being controlled at all with anything I’m taking. I called the helpline and they told me to go toa&e of it gets worse. I really don’t want to 
has anyone else found their symptoms to get progressively worse with time?

Well done for finishing EC, I wasn’t too bad on it but I’m now on Pac and feel rough, phoned hotline during the night and I should be getting stronger antsickness, I cant eat or drink, not good but weirdly helpful knowing others are feeling the same.

@saints33 I’m so sorry you’re feeling rough. For those of you who are having EC every 2 weeks, I think your body is taking one hell of a battering. You don’t get any time to recover in-between.
I hope the symptoms ease quickly and you improve.
One big hurdle out of the way
