Dear Louise, Kim, Lynne, Jewjew, Kelly, Shaikh, Kriss, Katie, Liz and Julie,
Thankyou all for your encouragement and lovely comments.
Headstrong don’t appear to be anywhere near me, can see them in Liverpool and other northern places but I’m in Huntingdon (nearby, anyway) and I can’t see any that are reachable from here, but thanks for the link anyway 
We got my wig yesterday, and I’m so disappointed. The crown and parting of my red bob has bits of broken hair all along it, but the orthotics people told me this was normal, and got their own display wig out to show me that even that one had it too. They said I wouldn’t see it when I’m wearing it! At £57 I’m thinking about taking it back. I did try it on, but it felt so scratchy and unpleasant, I’m not convinced I won’t be better off with my bonnet thing that one of my friends sent me. It’s pink and flowery and looks a bit like a peasant-type bit of headgear, so I can pretend I’m a Russian peasant from days gone by (or something…perhaps).
It’s all coming out on a daily basis now, and it looks very odd. Every time my BF rubs my head, which he does often as a sign of affection, it causes the hairy version of dandruff - just showers of hair falling. If I sit with a piece of paper and rub my head, the paper gets covered quickly. But it’s getting b***** cold up there! Am going to have to start wearing head gear in bed. Strange the things that you don’t think of when all this starts.
Cold cap - not an option at Hinchingbrooke, according to Jeanette, the scary chemo sister. Just prolongs the agony on epirubicin, which is the one that everyone loses it on (apparently some get to keep it on CMFand others, but no-one on epi does), so their thinking is that it’s best to get it over with.
Am hoping it will grow back thicker and curly this time, trying to “stay positive”, but reeling a bit from finding another lump in my other breast, and not feeling good. Had another miserable migraine with vomiting all day Monday, which meant doc had to come out and do an emergency hydrocortisone injection (am hypoadrenal, so throwing up is actively dangerous for me), and the pain was unbearable. NO amount of migraine prescription drugs, pain killers (including oramorph and Naramig, or Imigran, and metoclopramide, cyclizine, buccastem, domperidone) seem to have any effect when I get one of these, so we’re asking for a neuro referral, because the pain is always in the same place, behind my right eye and across the top of my head. This started pre-dx, but we were hoping it was caused by the cancer, which in theory has been removed, although with the other lump I’m not hopeful.
Suppose I should do a diff thread about that though - this was only supposed to be hair loss!
Thanks everyone for your support, huge cyber hugs and love to all of you,
Angel / Nicola / Nikki / Whatever!
