Hi Yogey

Sorry to hear that you have now joined " the club ". I m similar to u. 51 years old and single mum to 3 boys , slightly older than urs . I was diagnosed in Apr 21 and went thru 6 rounds of chemo , mastectomy and then radiotherapy. Finished last Jan and fingers crossed so far so good !!!

Chemotherapy was actually very doable . I luckily felt OK throughout and could still function. A bit tired some days but nothing too horrendous. I used the cold cap and kept 60% of my hair which was a godsend as one of my boys that's what worried him the most. I think nothing screams cancer more than being bald so if u can I would recommend this. I was always very positive when talking to the 2 older boys , did nt tell my youngest who was 11 at the time as he's autistic and would have just freaked and thought, mum's going to die. I told him I had bad cells and would have some treatment then a bionic boob fitted , which he found amusing. I hope this helps in some way , any other questions just ask !!

Eat well , daily walks , drink loads of water and also gargle coconut oil thru chemo treatment ( stops mouth ulcers ) . You ve got this girl !!

Debbie

Thanks Debbie 

That helps a lot . It gives me some ideas.

Is the coldcap free?
