Happy Monday! How is everyone today?
Morning! Am off for my pre ass today, what should I expect ? Also going to make an appointment to get my hair chopped , will try the cold cap but my hair is so long and thick I need to cut it shorter anyway. Hope everyone has a good week xx
Did you have chinese takeaway Karana? Just take care with the take aways!
Morning ladies
Ali hope you can go home soon x
I have got sea bands ready for Friday
Today in the shower I realised I was washing my hair for the last time I thought I would be sag but I am not and I am sure it is because my sister is shaving with me xx
Hope everyone has a fabulous day xx
Sad not sag lol unfortunately I am sag as I get older lol saggy belly and butt x
Good luck with the shave Sue! X
Yes was takeaway but literally had a small amount of egg fried rice, a bit of chicken from the middle of a chicken ball and a couple of prawn crackers…won’t be doing that again tho!! I’ve just been washing my hair as normal as not had cold cap…have short hair anyway and decided if it goes it goes!! It’s been itchy last couple of days!! Xxx
Hi everyone, hoping I can join in this nice thread 
I am post surgery waiting chemo - due to start next week and PICC line in this week (waiting for the call to confirm everything).
Feel lucky to be able to read through all of your experiences already. Have been fairly low key whilst going through surgery and not usually one for online forums but figure if there is a time to reach out for support and comradeship then it has to be now!
Have been trying to figure out hair plan and all your posts really helped. Have decided to cut short b4 chemo and try cold cap on first cycle to see where it takes me. Lovely to meet you all.
Thanks Cassie x
Hi Ruth welcome to the mad house but a thoroughly welcoming mad house x
Sorry to see you joining us but welcome nonetheless
Feel free to ask any questions, vent and laugh as appropriate x you will probably have noticed out threads are not all doom and gloom and we take our laughter where we can
Big hugs ? xxc
Morning all
SueW hope the shave goes well today and that the rest of the weekend wee collection went without incident!
Karana, we were told to avoid takeaway food, it is also pretty oily usually which is tough on your insides.
My hubby has been amazing and has cooked some seriously healthy food over the weekend. A great fish pie and a chicken soup full of veg, ginger & garlic. I read an article about altzhiemers which said how good lots of herbs and spices are for micro nutrients. Cumin is very good for red blood cells is anti microbial and great for the immune system apparently which is great for me because I love it.
Hope that your pre assessment and hair cut go well Jelly Tot.
I’m feeling ok so far today and the sun has now come out after a dark rainy start so onwards and upwards ?
Thanks SueW - i am so sorry to read everyone’s stories - such a crap thing to be going through but so good to not feel alone. I too am seeing as much light as I possibly can through the dark. Bit nervous at the moment but know it will be better when I know what is happening when - the drip feed of information when you get diagnosed with BC can be excruciating!!
I am on FEC x3 then T x3 like a lot of us. Triple neg so then on to radio after that (pending genetic testing :(. Haven’t seen my chemo unit yet so not sure what is on offer. Hope to do some comp therapies like acupuncture so would love to hear other people’s experiences xx
Welcome Ruth07. This is a great forum for support. We really need people who properly understand what we are going through both physically and mentally at this time. Best wishes for your future treatment.
Chaffinch still collecting wee today ends tomorrow morning at 7.45 not that I counting or anything but yesterday passed without incident lol x ?
That’s a lot of wee! Hope results of it are ok x
Welcome Ruth07, sorry to see you on here. I too had never posted on a forum before but found other peoples comments so helpful and supportive prior to my treatment, that I felt I should post too if only to try and help carry on the good work of the forum! I also had my hair cut short and am trying the cold cap. Not sure it’ll work but glad I tried as it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Good luck with your treatment and if you’ve any questions just ask, we’re not experts but someone will always have an answer! Lol
Me too chaffinch not even sure when I get results but got to take it all to path lab tomorrow when I go to see chemo nurses then I got an appointment with endocrinologist on thursday when I should get mri results x
Chaffinch, you’re so lucky! I’m back to cooking my own dinners, not doing too badly but I struggle with lunch. I used to have a huge chicken or salmon salad, which I do still fancy but can’t be bothered to prepare!
SueW that is a lot of wee, bet you’ll be glad to hand it over and be rid of it. Hope the results are ok.
Does anyone know if we can eat liver? Just thinking it might be good as that too is full of vitamins and iron.
Hi hope your male reiki master didnt grasp you with both hands SueW!
I had reiki the day b4 my chemo treatment and felt surprisingly calm on my 2nd cycle.xx
Hi Meesh
