@epic1 & @galdiolus I am also round 2 on Tuesday. They will hopefully be giving me a different anti sickness tablet this time because last time was so rubbish.
I am hoping it will get easier to manage side effects as it progresses but I am finding it really difficult thinking about going back in for more.
Very grateful that week 3 I have been almost functioning as normal, albeit lacking in energy a bit.
Wishing you both the best of luck with round 2
Hi @luckyduck1
I braved the tube in London today. I masked up and took hand sanitizer, I was a bit apprehensive but really glad I did it. If you go, have fun!
@sharlou hope all goes well tomorrow.
I am on 3 weekly EC but only had 1 round, it was 10 days of no energy or concentration and this last week I have been so much better.
Hope this round is kind to you 
Thank you @lizk good luck to you too.
I am also feeling fairly normal apart from sore tongue and very slight sore throat.
Definitely ask for different drugs they have loads of alternatives.
We’ve got this!! 
So I am taking the bull by the horns today. My hair is coming out thick and fast now (day 17) so have my hairdresser coming over to shave it off!
Any tips before the big event!
All the best for the big shave @galdiolus ! I’ve already had mine cut to a no. 6 but it’s now starting to come out (day 16) so I’m thinking of getting the zero shortly. Presumably your hairdresser will be better prepared than my husband was for shaving mine, and you’ll not be picking little hairs out of your bra afterwards 
I’d advise you request the cape!
Exactly the same, washed it last night and so much came out. I am also considering taking control of the situation 
All the best for Tues. I have my second cycle on Wed. I’m not sure which anti sickness they gave you last time but hopefully you’ll get the right one this time.
@pod123 that made me chuckle! Yes he will come prepared he is also a family friend of almost 30 years which helps.
Yes I am thinking a one or a zero! Just hate looking at hair in my hands 
@lizk exactly that! I can’t do anything with my hair anyway and already have my wig so feel like it’s one bit of control I can have
Good luck with the big shave! I think I will be close behind you at this rate. We need all the control we can get at the moment
Before I did the shave I put a full face of slap on - it did make me feel better!
I’m going to have to do a buzz cut, I’ve got no hair at all on my crown and massive bald patches at the back and sides. I’ve already done the pixie crop but for some reason I’m strangely nervous about going full buzz 
Also - has anyone lost hair at the front of their head? For some reason my fringe area is still thick and untouched 
This is me without my wig!!! Literally about 4 strands left!! And a weird bit of fringe!!
Haha this made me lol 
Seriously!!! I have to laugh!! Why oh why dont i just shave it off!!! 
Sharlou 
there has been lots of us over the years had reduced dose remember it’s tailored specifically to you, your team has seen it all before 
Shi xx
I feel your pain 
Round 3 ticked off! Just got home. Last cycle it was about two hours after I got home when I started feeling like a bag o crap so I’m praying that doesn’t happen this time.
Hope everyone is doing ok xx
Everyone thinking of doing the big shave good luck, by god it’s cold and when you go outside without a hat it’s really weird it feels like I’ve got long hair and it’s flowing I really can’t explain it. So mine is a grade 1 and when my heads on the pillow it feels like those stickle bricks you used to play with as kids. But it’s still falling out even tho it’s only about 1/2 cm long!
I had round 2 Monday and all my symptoms are the same as round 1 - slight sickness but nothing too troublesome. My bites changed again like my teeth want to leave my head. Acid reflux which is my worse symptom and sleep OK. Fatigued now I’m day 4 is kicking in. But nearly all of these subside by mid week 2 so shall keep an eye on that.
Thinking of you all, xxx
