If you type eyelineHerBlog and search then watch her tutorials, she is very good and with bit of practice you will have them down to a t soon, also you can get eyebrow stencils and good tip if you use them just a brown or taupe eyeshadow with a stiff little angle brush works well 👍 the fluid intake helps keep things flushing through 👍 always ring your units if you don’t feel right even with no temp, always best to check with them so they get you through chemo safely ❤️ 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...

❤️ Don’t forget to drink 2-3 l of fluids a day too helps flush things through and if your antisickness meds don’t work ring your unit they will tweak till they get you on right combination 👍 if they need to ❤️ if any of you have it via cannula in hand then they can get you to put your arm in bucket of warm water prior to chemo this helps the veins and you can ask for a heat pad for your arm too to put over arm while having chemo ❤️ when lockdown lifts speak to your Macmillan teams about booking onto look good feel better session ❤️ there are some good tutorials on u tube how to do makeup that a lady who had alopecia has done, How to create look of brows and lashes 👍 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...

Whitney29, glad you have been taken seriously and you are being sent for scan, you are doing right thing being vigilant and being young doesn’t mean anything bc, does not care what age you are. Till you are told otherwise by professional you do not have bc, always check yourself there are lots of things around that tell you how to examine. Quite a few of us kept getting cold after cold after cold and were sleeping more prior to diagnosis and just thought it was because of the colds and run down immune system, so might be worth being vigilant on that too. Call the someone like me on here if you need to and ask away on here, everyone will help ❤️ 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ... View more

Hi fidget 👍 you can have infection and no temp too, I had burning wee and no temp and it was uti caused by the chemo and needed antibiotics not just a bit of cranberry juice and resulted in 6 day casa nhs stay on my first chemo back in 2017. So after that I was on the bat phone to team about anyo wasn’t sure of during chemo, getting through chemo safely is what matters ❤️ 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ... View more

Hi daisy, back in 2017 surgery 1st, therapeutic mammo plasty, then 3 fec and should have been 3 t but had 2 t and then another fec because of reaction on 2nd t. Then 15 rads and 5 boosters. I was naughty and googled the surgery I was going to have and watched what was going to happen while I was under and for me that worked because I knew what would be happening  if that makes sense? I know we are all different and that wouldn’t work for everyone but I found it helped me at the time for what I needed to do for me. Always do what’s right for you ❤️ You put yourself 1st ❤️ 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ... View more

Hi fidget, please ring your unit and check about your throat, you might need antibiotics. Main thing is to keep safe during chemo and your team won’t mind they want you safely through too, just because you had it last time doesn’t mean it’s the same thing causing it this time ❤️ Just please keep safe 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...

Daisy ❤️ Sorry to hear you had reaction, I did on my 2nd t back in 2017. When I saw my oncologist after before my 6th and final chemo they said I could have abraxane or I could have another fec, I had another fec, so don’t forget to ask questions ❤️ Keep close eye on yourself and rapid response if anything not quite feeling right ❤️ Keep safe 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...

Get your questions ready for when you have next appointment before next chemo, I.e. will they reduce next dose etc 👍 try and find out what your neutrophil count is too, have they been giving you a daily blood test? 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...
