Off for my second lot of chemo today, was amazed that i did not feel to bad at all after my first just really feeling sick. The tablets they gave me do help which is a bonus. The hair loss was the biggest shock, it was expected but when it happened the children cried which made me cry something that I have not done in awhile. Anyway I would love to thank the person/people on here who recommended the annabandana website. My daughters and I spent ages looking through it and got some wonderful head scarf’s etc. and at a decent price. So its off with my kindle (again which my children clubbed together and brought me)and another long wait at the hospital.
And thanks again for the website i will certainly recommend them to the hospital

How fabulous was that, for your children to club together to buy you a Kindle! And nice that they help you choose your scarves.
I think it is really hard when we lose our hair, from the beginning I “knew” it would happen to me, as was pretty sure I would end up on chemo, and am too wimpy for the cold cap. “I’ll probably cry when it happens but I’ll cope” I said gaily.
All prepared with hair cut short by hairdresser in adavance, sink strainer in place under the shower, and roughly knowing from the boards here when it would happen, when it happened it hit like a ton of bricks I stood in the shower and I sobbed my heart out -quietly, mind, so my husband didn’t hear.
And then you cope, you don’t like it but you pick yourself up and try on bandanas and hats and wigs/ or “go commando” and find what suits you-doesn’t matter if someone else would do it differently, it’s what suits you and yours that counts.
And if your hospital are not recommending this site to you, tell them to get their act together! I couldn’t have coped without this board
