Posted update on June chemo if anyone wants a read.
@annemanc that is a lot of next steps and I agree you need to deal with them one at a time. I know about radiotherapy but still to hear which aromatase inhibitor (Letrozole or Anastrozole and for how long). I had assumed I’d finish after chemo and that’s in two weeks, so will ask at next clinic appt.
I use cold cap and at home I have rapid cool slippers from Amazon and cold packs for hands. They would defrost by them t8em I arrive and have chemo put up, so I use at home and so far not had too many nail issues, a bit of tingling and numbness and pain in feet but not all the time. I know Paxman were trialing some of these arm and leg coolants so hopefully will be rolled out of every hospital.
@frazzledmcsazza yes me treatment is also cumulative and gets more intense, thought having 2 weeks break would lessen side effects but no. Chemo obviously stays in system longer than you think.
@daffodil1 Great news you had your last Paclitaxel, bet that was such a relief. What is next for you or it that it? My skin has flared up with large whiteheads with red ring (pustules), saw GP and was basically to,d to suck it up and least of my worries. I did eventually get some antibiotic cream (fucidin). I’ve had acne/spots/ boils from teenage years until 40, lessen in pregnancy but still there. GP did t comprehend the mental anxiety of this when you’ve suffered for so long, worn foundation for a long as I could remember. Eventually saw Dermatologist after exhausting everything GP could prescribe.The treatment worked well and didn’t need foundation on a daily basis, but it had to stop as it could interfere with chemo. 
@pinklilli3s Good luck to tomorrow 
. Great you only have one more cycle, nearly there. I also take a thermo with fruit tea in to help keep warm, with the 4 hours I’m there, I get offered 1 hot drink which is not enough. Due to menopausal symptoms I don’t get that cold on my body. I can totally understand the frustration of not having your usual treatment for rosacea. I would be carful with laser and check with your team. I had a LED mask (red, green, blue light for variety of issues)
and was told not to use it as it uses same waves as the sun and I was told to wear SPF everyday from now onwards.
@plum1 i can understand the trust that everything pushed to the cancer community is very pricey but as @pinklilli3s says La Roche Posey is great and affordable and many items are fragrance free, also Avene both at Boots or various online. For a tinted moisturiser SPF I use Paula’s Choice Resist moisturiser with SPF30 ( mineral sunscreen - better for me) it’s £39 for 60ml many offers with % off to get a good deal. All her products are fragrance free.
@Camy_Radika having spots/acne/redness can be debilitating and especially marks left on the skin, I know I’m a picker and suffered fro my sins! My skin has generally become quite dry but with these spots, I think it’s my body trying to get rid of the chemo in as many ways as it can. I have no energy for makeup even after doing the Look Good Feel Better course but do use my daily tinted SPF and that at least helps a little. 
Thinking all you all brave ladies. It’s not easy but we are doing it!
