Hi T3D, best to shave all hair off, more comfortable. As soon as mine started to come out that was it for me, all off. Feels quite liberating tbh I am not a bit bothered. I have been out in one of my wigs and felt fine, busy trying out all my other headgear at home, and been going bald too. OH shaved all his off too, shorted even than mine and at Hosp/Onc appintment yesterday people looked at him as if he was the cancer patient lol cos I had a wig on lol. Yes need plenty of stuff to move the titanic, I had a real bad time last Thursday with that - 2 hours stuck in the no go zone, neither oot nor in lol was walking around and up and down stairs to try to shift it, really low point that was, and yet I had been going every other day so thought I was fine. Salads, Rhubarb fool and sultana bran have sorted it since lol. But like you got lactuloseand senokot ready for next week and will start day before. Onc gave me 3 diff sorts of anti sickness tabs too to try to control it and got to take day before. I cant get why have to have 3 diff ones, cant they combine it all in one, one of them is cut in quarters and says used to treat schizophrenia fgs, must be really strong to cut them up........ not happt taking all them tbh but if it stops the sickness hey ho.
I am feeling really great this week too thank goodness - at least we know we get one normal week, or maybe it gets worse each time,who knows? guess we will find out very soon, but not gonna dwell on that cos got other things to do lol oh yeah like hopsital for MUGA scan again friday, and blood test monday and then the chemo tues. Hospitals are second home at the mo arent they?
Take care everyone and good luck with the next round........xxxxxx valxxxx
