Hi all
I had a really wierdo chemo-related dream last night … and it was a bit sick … well a lot sick … but then i thought about it and have the feeling that it might end up being true one day …
In the dream there were all these girls wanting to be super-models ( I must stop watching so much rubbish on the box!!!) and they were having their hair assessed - some of them passed and others weren’t so lucky …
so they had to have chemo so that all their hair fell out but would come back better!!! … can you imagine …???
and then when i had a dreamflash-back later today i thought it was awful … and then I thought of what people do to themselves re: facelifts, teeth implants and whatever else I started to think … if they could isolate the thing that makes our hair fall out then I could well see this happening in the future … how totally sad is that …
… and then people will be going to work bald and telling their mates not to worry because they’ve had the “treatment” and will be having lucious locks soon …
… people have their faces burned off in chemcial peels … don’t they?? and laser surgery on their eyeballs (I would be terrified of infection myself)
… I am not advocating this … but I can see it happening …
wonder what it wil be tonight!!! (I did eat a terrible dinner last night - a huge packet of crisps with lots of flavours … perhaps it set me off - think i’ll try cheese tonight …)
lots of love

Hi FizBix - you strange woman !!!
I used to have some very weird dreams when on chemo - can’t remember them now (chemo brain) but I do remember thinking where on earth did that come from.
I used to like my hair, teeth and boobs - best part of me - then I go and lose my boob (well sort of - reconstruction!) my hair and then teeth are going worse !
Hope those dreams get better !!

I had a dream that I went to work in my blue beanie hat and my boss told me to take it off as it was not business attire.My boss would never say such a thing, bless him

Heya Fizbix.
First week of FEC did this to me:
Cleared all my spots.
made my skin sensitive to the sun and a little pink. I looked more tanned in essence.
made my hyperactive.
My friends know that my hair will fall out soon, but I do think some of them are thinking wig, never having to shave legs, not so bad.
That’s until the skin broke out in spots, the cold sores started and I keep going ouch from the mouth ulcer. If they could bottle the other symptoms I’m sure it’s catch on… seriously scary.
I have had weird dreams on xeloda especially one where I said I didn’t like something or someone and my father made loads and loads of poisoned porridge to give to them. All i did was tell him off about the mess and through all the porrige away !!! Very very strange
I too had weird dreams on chemo and still do now.
Strangely enough, they all involve people taking things from me - usually concentrated round someone (always male) breaking into my house and stealing either money (I should be so lucky, there isn’t any lol), my credit cards or my handbag. I woke up in a real sweat about 3.30 am the other morning because all my credit cards had been stolen - and was too frightened to go downstairs and check in case the ’ burglar’ was still there!
A friend, who likes to think herself a bit of a psychologist lol reckons it’s to do with losing bits of my body (had all my teeth out 2 years ago, lost my hair, lost my right boob) - she thinks I relate having things ‘stolen’ to all this? Mebbe she’s right - who knows lol
