My hair is starting to grow back. I plan to take pictures every week so I can see the progress.
My eye brows look weird as they haven’t all fallen out but the new ones are starting to grow. So my brows are fuzzy with random long hairs scattered through.
I have a call with my oncologist on Tuesday to discuss the radiotherapy treatment. Then on Thursday it will be my next Herceptin injection
Hi @scientistamafier . I hear you about the eyebrows! Mine are weird also. And my hair is very very slowly coming but it’s not quite a buzz cut yet. Bit thin on top and two patches at the front sides that are lighter than everything else !
Hope your meeting goes well for radio and you dont need too many sessions . I had 5 and it was ok.
I’ve been walking most days for about 45 mins and I’m ok , but any more and my back gets sore. I have an appointment in April with a spine specialist - hope he can give me some answers .
Returning to work on Monday - but daunted by the prospect . But I wfh so not too bad hopefully
Turns out my onco call wasn’t to discuss the radiotherapy, just him checking in with me. He did give me the number of the radiotherapy department so I could check where I was on the waiting list. I received the very helpful response that I am on the list and it will be sometime mid to late April for my booking appointment, but might be earlier.
Aw no , that’s so disappointing for you. One good thing is you’re in the system but you probably want to get going with it. Did you have your injection? Hope it went ok
I think you perhaps meant to post in the October 2024 thread?
That said I do know that people sometimes have their chemo sessions paused for various reasons. This is why you have a blood test a day or two before each visit. You could try posting your query in the general chemotherapy section as well to reach a wider audience.
Have they said what the plan is? Do you just wait a week and see if it improves?
