im sorry to read about your diagnosis. It’s very scary isn’t it. Ive recently been diagnosed with anal cancer but not started treatment yet. I’m seeing my oncologist for the 1st time in a couple of days. I’ve not been sleeping very much the last 3.5 weeks and keep finding myself on google in the middle of the night. I can’t offer any advice as I’ve not started treatment but I’m going to keep in touch with Bungle1 who replied and if you’d like to maybe we could too. x
Morning I asked them that question about a million times. They said I wouldn't lose the hair on my head but it might thin a little bit but would probably lose pubic hair. So far I have lost a little bit downstairs. My head hair is fine potentially a bit more comes out than usual when I wash it but I'm washing it less at the moment so overall its fine if that makes sense. X
I’m hoping I don’t as mine is long. Don’t mind about downstairs though . I hope your radiotherapy isn’t to hard this week. I’ll be thinking about you. xx
I’m starting chemo/radio on 18/11. 28 lots of radiotherapy with the 1st one being IV then 27 lots of chemo tablets twice a day. So my treatment will finish Xmas day so they said they will do a few weekend ones two I’m finished by Xmas eve. I asked about the chemo pump and they said they don’t do that there. I’m under a hospital in Manchester. Are you getting sore with the radiotherapy? hope you’re doing ok xx
