Hi ladies
Just to say that I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow Debbie. Won’t be long and it’ll be me there too. Going to the hairdressers 2day for last time in a while. Spoke with a friend of mine (who happens to be a consultant oncologist) today and discussed cold caps - a service which is routienely offered in Bristol. It involves freezing your scalp so that the hair follicals don’t get the chemo and preserves hair in some people. read on a thread before that someone was concerned tha if you had this, your brain wouldn’t get chemo. My friend says that chemo drugs DON’T cross the blood brain barrier so that is NOT an issue - but it is true that the scalp gets no drug!
Good luck in the giant Polo Maz!!
Don’t think I’ll be on line tonight - son coming back from a few days away!!

Hi
in all the months of being here I have not been on live chat - is it worth while ?
yes, the live chat is good. i only registered with this site last thursday and managed to only get about 20 mins, but what a difference it made. the girls are great and welcomed me straight away.
give it a try. will look out for you
deb x
Ok thanks - its a bit like going into a pub on your own- so will you wait for me outside ha ha

I’ve explained to my son that I have the computer tonight 9 - 10!! So we’ll see…
Haven’t done live chat - where do you pick it up??

Hi waitingangel
I have added a link to How to use live chat:Search Results | Breast Cancer Now
Once the room is opened (at 9pm) click the link: breastcancercare.chatjet.com/bcc/index.html
Simply use the same login details for live chat as the forums.
I hope this is of help, please post back or email <script type=“text/javascript”>eval(unescape(‘%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%4d%6f%64%65%72%61%74%6f%72%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%22%3e%4d%6f%64%65%72%61%74%6f%72%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b’))</script> if I can help further.

Hi all
good to catch you on live chat, had to get daughter to take over as too rough! she really enjoyed it. just hope the only time she uses it is for me.
didnt go to wig appt. as not up to it, so have another in 2 weeks! worried hair may be gone by then, but fingers crossed its not as want closest match.
just starting to feel bit better today, still tired and stomach not brilliant but better.
Td - enjoy party and keep us updated. and dont worry about housework!!
catch you soon
deb x
Hope you’re feeling a bit better today Deb.
Party was fantastic. I developed a cracking migraine which holed me up for 14 hours after that though. When I got downstairs today it was all pristine!! about 100 women & girls came with decorated boobs and we raised £750!! fantastic. Photo’s will be going to fundraising dept on this site -assume we can all take a look then.
Big operation day tomorrow so out of the loop for a while…
Take care
Love Td x
Hi Td

best of luck and take care

Hi debs !
Home at last.
I’ll tell all on New Pyjamas!
Td x
How are you?? Get the wigging done eventually?
Td
glad you are back. been checking site daily and was thinking last night that you should be home now! Please tell all on the new Pjs! cant wait to hear now! how did it go? how long was you in for?
I am doing better each day. had one thing after another, but wont let it beat me! not yet, anyway! even got out of house over this weekend after 10 days stuck indoors. Husband took me out last night for quick bite to eat and spent time in garden today pottering about. At hospital this friday re: wig, just hope my hair still in tact for it!!! Am going to make the most of this coming week as next weekend I will probably start fretting over the next chemo session!
take care and catch u soon
