July 2024 chemo starters

Great news @idcand49 . I have the same Orla Kelly scarf, good taste.

I agree with you about the people that say you look great and don’t look like you’ve had chemo. I cold capped and kept most of my hair but losing your hair isn’t the only side effect! :angry:

I have read that not all centre have a bell as they have realised that some people do not ever finish their treatment and it can feel a bit isolating for them. I didn’t ring a bell at the end of my chemo as I was at a satellite unit with no bell. There was a bell at the radiotherapy unit, and me not trying to draw attention to myself gave it a little ting ting. A lovely lady I’ve met through this forum suggested ‘slapping’ a bench in the park for finishing her treatment. Always available.

I’m on Letrozole and had many side effects. I’ve found Accord brand works best for me but I’ve also had to have treatment to stop the hot flushes. I wrote this nd will keep it updated as needed.

This might be worth reading to see how it affects others.

The charity www.menopauseandcancer.org also have lots of resources on their website and podcasts.

Take care and be proud of yourself for completing your treatment :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
