hi im 36 mother of 3 n diagnosed dec 23. ive had 2 ops n 5 of 6 chemo n finding it very hard at mo. feel so peed off n cant get rid of that feeling. would love to chat. x
Hi lee how are you, can't be long now till your chemo is finished? I'm just waiting on a date for radio to start, been feeling ok apart from my eyes which are streaming, dunno if it's cause I've hardly any lashes at the bottom, got a prescription to pick up for cream so I'll see if that works. Keep in touch. Col x
how are you feeling these days I have my final chemo on Tues of next week and feel so nervous, my vein in my right hand is still swollen and bruised from the last injection so I really dont want them to use the same one again, it took me nearly 2 weeks to get over my last chemo so Im dreading this one, I just want to feel human again, you must keep me up to date with your hair growth progress.
He he we must have been typing at the same time, my eyes are streaming too which makes it really difficult to wear eyemakeup, and I hate the way my eyes look without it, so catch twenty two, you will have to let me know what cream your using and if it works.
Hi lee I was the same, my hand and up my wrist was black and blue. My hair is gradually growing back in brown which is weird to me as i'Ve been blonde for years. I don't feel comfortable wearing my wig, which is stopping me from going out, we're invited to a 40th tonight and I just don't want to go as I don't want to weAr the wig, my eyebrows are minimal as are my top eye lashes, none on the bottom lol and my eyes are constantly streaming, but apart from that I'm fine and dandy. Ps my daughter has brought me up false lashes but how do I make bottom of my eyes look less bare, any tips? X
Lol we are crossing over with the questions lol I hate how my eyes look too, I've normally very long and thick lashes and everyone comments on my eyes, now they look bald, I'm not liking it x
The only thing I can suggest is waterproof eyeliner on your bottom lash area, but it is so difficult I often look at myself in the mirror and laughingly say to myself ...you cant make a pigs ear into a silk purse but there is no harm in trying, my head itches sometimes when I put on my wig as I too have little tufts of hair growing through so I slap a load of E45 onto my head then the hair net, then the wig and it doesnt itch anymore, I cant live without my wig I just feel so ugly without it.
Im so glad to hear you are feeling better, your definitely my inspiration .
I just wear my little skip cap from monsoon, it's been my life line lol, do you not feel as though your wig is going to fall off? I had it on one night and a friend came up and put her arms round my neck to give me a hug and my wig moved lol. I'm prob just not used to it, I don't wear a net under it, oh I just want my hair to grow back, it's what's holding me back. How long do you think it will take to grow to a decent length? X
What a horrible thing to happen.... just when you thought you were going to get a break.
We all talk about the not knowing being the hardest thing to cope with....... but I think maybe in this case, the knowing is worse..... it must be a nightmare for you both.... after you going through it all... and seeing the way you struggled with everything.....
And I don't care how old our children are.... they are still our babies.
Mine moves too, but then all my family and friends know its a wig so I dont really care, as for the million dollar question ...how long before it grows back...well I reckon around 4 months before its a nice short hairstyle that you can wear out, judging by other people I know, ive heard sea kelp helps but not sure how long after chemo before you can start taking supplements.
Listen hun weve come this far whatever happens now will only be an improvement and just remember you will have those lovely long dark eyelashes back before I do lol so hang on in there cos I think your a star xxxx
