My regrowth is just at a point where I'm not self conscious and I had my last chemo the 15th June. Give it time. It'll be back and once it starts there's no stopping it xx ... View more

Well I had full lymph removal and mastectomy before chemo. I am due to have a reconstruction the beginning of next year. It's really not as bad as you may think. I've had a prosthetic since January and I'm used to it now. No one has ever noticed or mentioned anything and I'm glad I had the operation to be honest. I'm sure you'll be fine ladies. Good luck and stay strong xx ... View more

CHEMO IS FINISHED!!!! Absolutely overjoyed. It wasn't the nicest of the 6 but hey, I won't be doing it again. Find out tomorrow if I get radiotherapy and then it's onwards and upwards kids. Stay strong, we've got this!! 😙 😙 xx ... View more

I've got my last tomorrow and hairs rapidly returning this week. Just want it to hurry up a little bit.xx ... View more

I've got my last t tomorrow and every T I've had there comes a point where my nails feel like I've trapped them in a car door. It does go but it's not nice. I still have all of my nails and I've had dark nail varnish on right the way through too. Just be careful with them when they're sore. Hopefully you'll be fine xx ... View more

Ali, I feel exactly the same. Still got hair falling out when I wash it but I'm just ignoring it. 😂 Denial. I've got very good at drawing my brows on tho x ... View more

My brows and lashes fell out after my 2nd T. Very unfair. However, I HAVE MY LAST EVER CHEMO ON WEDNESDAY!!! EEEEEK! 😜 😲 😉 ☺ 😙 👊 ... View more

Ooooh I'm keeping mine lol. But saying that I spoke to someone who had a delay in chemo and now they say their hair is all different lengths. If you're gonna start again, do it now while it's short. X ... View more

Awww my lashes and brows fell out when my hair started growing back!! Go figure. Stock up on paracetamol and ibuprofen and you should be fine. Fingers crossed xx ... View more

It's certainly a rollercoaster ride. I normally tell people I'm good but I think my face tells a different story. Once they start to hear the side effects we have to put up with, they realize that this is no walk in the park. I took control of my journey by shaving my hair off before it started to fall out. I've had 3 fec and 2 T and my hair is growing back now (Yeyyy) but it's not growing fast enough for me 😂 .xx ... View more

Hi Tina, can I just say I think you're awesome using the cold cap. I used it once but found it made me feel terrible plus I'd cut my hair short ready to lose it. I think sore mouth is something we all get to some degree, I haven't used my mouth wash and I've been fine. As for lack of patience... I hear you!! My partner has 2 boys and I have 1 of my own and it's been very tough. Especially if they want my food I bought knowing I'd taste them. I've been like a raving lunatic. I hope things pick up for you, we're always here if you want a chat. Take care and stay strong. 😊 💖 ... View more

Not happy. My last T has been put back from the 15th to the 29th so I'm going to be poorly for the race for life!! 😢 Both consultants are away on holiday. So much for all over celebrations after the race!!! What a bummer!x ... View more

That's next weeks programme. This week was a man with breast cancer and a woman who's had it twice in 20 years. Not the best thing to watch but still.. ... View more
