Good morning ladies,
I’m pretty new to this forum, but wanted to say hi to all you ladies who started chemotherapy on March 2020.
I had my second cycle of FEC yesterday, minus the 5 FU. I was advised by my consultant that new guidance due to Covid is to drop the 5 FU as this can be the most destructive to the immune system.
Strange and scary times for all of us I’m sure.
My hair started falling out 2 weeks post cycle 1 and I asked my kids (well young adults) to get the clippers & give me a number 3 all over! It’s the best decision I made, but still very emotionally difficult. I have some lovely headgear and wigs and am embracing the baldness…despite not having model good looks.
i wish you all well ladies, please stay safe and strong and we will get through this
