In the middle of first and second chemo not feeling too bad at the mo it must get worse than this . my hair started to come out when washing it saturday morning so got myself dried and dressed and promptly pulled hubbies shavers out and shaved it all off.Looking out for some funky bandanas now.Be happy when lose hair from legs/pits and lady bits.Save me a fortune on razors.Got to save where i can dont get any help from our good old goverment.
Well done Wendy for taking the step of taking hair off yourself…it really made me feel more in control of the situation deciding WHEN I was going to lose it all, rather than letting the chemo dictate the terms. Be prepared for a fright in the shower though re the lady bits!
You can find funky bandanas online - just google it - I have some camoflage ones and tell the people at work they can’t see me! I have a whole range…bargain ones from primark, silk ones etc. I have one for every outfit at work - and big bold earrings help with the look. All I need now is a crystal ball!
All the best to you with all your treatment - join us in Dew Drop Inn 2 if you need a laugh and an escape from it all…

Just 6 days now from my first chemo. Spent the last 4 days in bed. Have never felt so rough. But I wasn’t sick so something to be glad about. Now try and enjoy some time before next one.
