Hi finished chemo and Radiotherapy march 11th 2022. Started back on 1st April on a phased return. I really struggled when I got to work my full hours, I was falling asleep on the sofa, I couldn't concentrate, when I got tired, my head feels like mush. I've spoken to my understanding manager who suggested cutting hours back by using my annual leave from last year. I just feel I am unable to do my job efficiently anymore, and worry when that leave is used up, what do I do then. I cannot afford to take less hours. I'm on anastrozole, and pregablin for back issues . Anyone else in this situation, or have been there, did it improve? I just want to feel normal again, be the old me x

Sorry for all the questions. Did the Oncologist say hie long before the eyes would return to normal and would it alter the prescription? Thanks

Hope everyone as had a good Christmas? I've had Ec and now on Abraxane. As anyone noticed that their eyesight as deteriorated? I had new glasses, just before I started chemo, but it is definitely worse. I hope it isn't permanent?

Hi, I'm due my 4th cycle next week, and was told not to work, because I work with the public. Other, than that, I was just advised to be sensible, when I go out. So I wear a mask and obviously keep away from people, with colds etc. Hope this helps Julie

Which one is the wig, you look fantastic? I've had my head shaved to a grade 4, and it is now coming out quickly, do we leave it to fall, or do I need to shave it completely off, now. Scalp does feel tender. X Julie

Glad you are feeling well, Amy. I start tomorrow with ec chemo. I am going to shave my hair on Saturday, I feel I have come to terms with it now. I know it needs to come off. My sister will do it or me. I'm hoping to send it to the little princess trust.

The chemo bag sounds a good idea. Why does the nurse suggest painting the nails dark?

Yes. I borrowed that book from the library. Very good. Good idea about the water, I must start drinking more. Just been wondering when to shave my head? Before it starts coming out, or when it starts falling out? I've asked my sister, if she would do it for me, I already have a bottle of processco in the fridge ready for the event. X

Good luck for Thursday. My first one is on 1st Sept. I would have liked the port, or picc line, because I have had a axillary node clearance, so cannot have any injections in that arm x

Welcome, I had the same operation, with the lilap and axillary node clearance. Originally I thought I was having the operation and just Radiotherapy. But now its chemotherapy. I think that as bothered me the most. I thought time wise. I would be back to normal, but obviously with the chemo, it's a longer timescale, plus losing our hair. I've signed onto some, online courses, "look good, feel better", they do skin and makeup lessons, how to draw eyebrows on, body image confidence etc. So looking forward to that. They are free to sign up.
