Hi Divvy and RECS,

Your posts about not feeling lucky really resonate with me. The other day I was nearly in tears (again) as something on TV made me realise how long it is since I felt really carefree.

I wasn’t as bad as you - no chemo needed - but my surgery had complications and rads knocked me for six unexpectedly. I also could not tolerate Tamoxifen so have now given it up with the blessing of my onc, but still some niggling fears.

I’m going back to work next week and dreading it - feeling really wobbly about what will be expected of me and how I’ll cope. I’ve seen your posts on other threads so I know I’m not alone and I’m hoping the summer will bring some respite for all of us. Thank goodness for this forum!

Hi - I used the cold cap only 3 times waaaay back pre Christmas - I had to stop cause it was too much - with EPI you had to wear it 30 mins before and 2 hours after treatment - ended up being physically sick so had to stop. Kept most of my hair till Tax then most of it went and I buzz cut my hair. Now after all these weeks finished the stuff that remained is falling out and the stuff that went shows no sign of recovery. Eyelashes and eyebrows went some time in Feb I think Naz like you I miss my face :frowning:

Will keep you posted - each day I pray that something happens on the positive hair side. The rest of me is starting to feel much better so that is great :slight_smile:
