Hi there I have just completed 4 rounds of EC and 10 rounds of Paclitaxel …trastuzumab to continue for three more rounds ….. and 9 days of radio therapy in a few weeks ….. in the end I decided that cold caping was not for me as I lost a chunk of hair on day three after my first chemo …so found a company that made wigs for kids and adults with hair loss and cut it off ….chemo is what it is …it wasn’t as bad as I though it was …. everyone’s journey is different .I found the fatigue to be not great but I have other medical issues going on . I found that if I ate a soup the night before and had a good breakfast at least 3 hrs before treatment and chicken noodle soup the evening after ( home made of course- it fixes everything ) I did not feel ill once I figured that out .I have been religious with that and am now out the other side . My hair is also growing back having gone through the whole Mr Shine look I now have a spiky do that is coming through blonde having been dark brown all my life -so I’m legally Blonde
help me bob ….. eye lashes and eyebrows are still deciding what they want to do and I shaved my pits for the first time in 6 months lol Hydrate, sleep /rest when you can and get out in the fresh air as much as possible, make sure your nutrition so as pure as possible and well balanced that helps too ….you are stronger than you know ….. and don’t be shy about asking for help when you need it …. you have got this .
