Wow, so many posts… Been in the post FEC2 fug, so might not find it easy to catch up. Sorry to all for hair loss. Me too! Cold cap’s worked a bit, but I have a ginormous bald spot, so a buff is more than necessary. Can’t work out whether to just shave or keep going with some. So depressing to have it coming out in handful though.
Emend didn’t work for me. I was absurdly grateful to get it, but then had a reaction to it, akin to being hit by a truck. Swollen red face, couldn’t move. All a bit scary really. Oh and ironies of ironies, it made me more sick than whatever it was they gave me last time. I am though unlucky, as 1 in 1000 have such rare SE’S - just wish it wasn’t me. Feel lots better today, as I think they’re cleared from my system.
Ah well, eh. Least it’s sunny. I’ve only got one more FEC to go, then onto Tax, and hear that’s less likely to make you sick, though more likely to make you ache. Big yeay for that then.
Can’t catch up with all as still too addled, but loving the wig, Sandra!
Hi to Kirsty. Ignore my moans, you’ll be okay. My first FEC was really fine - only nausea that’s dogged me and many on here haven’t had that at all.
Deb, hope you’re more upright by now. Glad the pox has gone. At least that’s one less thing to worry about. I can imagine in the heat that wouldn’t be fun to around a small person with itches.
Jo, hope the cold has fled, and the SE too. I hear you on being grumpy. Yesterday I was like a bear with a sore head. Managed a bit more cheerily today, so hope you did too.
Suze, really hope the drugs are working well. You sound very on top of them. I only have one lot left, and they make me feel worse, so am on nothing for now. Poor you with the veins though. I have one blg black vein now, so am nervous next time might be a mare. Hard to cover up in this heat too. yuk.
- Gill, hope the wig arrives soon. Sounds like you’ve had a horribly long wait for yours. Have you tried Buff’s though? Bit of a favourite in this house. Very adaptable for total hair loss or a having a bit left. Might be worth a look?
Got to go now. Sorry if I missed anyone but here’s to a sleep filled night for us all. xj
