sorry to hear. Hope your ok. I know cancer chemo is all scary stuff. I have had enlarged lymph nodes removed 5 weeks ago. I still am recovering. Then got biopsy 16 months this been going on for and now they tell me I have breast cancer my whole world has fallen apart. 

I got chemo starting end of January dreAding It and side effects. HAir loss I have lovely thick hair. I know how you feel but your not alone we will all support that’s all we can do I guess. I hope your scan goes well for you and hopefully we all have a better year. I’m just under shock and denial. Just found out 2 weeks ago. Xxx 

Hi Sangha,

So sorry you got this news,

Yes you have a long road ahead of you but please God all will work out fine for you,

It's terrible news for any one to get, and yes I lost all my hair after just the 1st Chemotherapy,but I don't mind,if I thought I was going to get the all clear I wouldn't care if it never grew back,my prayers are with you and I'm here if you need to chat,

Best wishes,

Ange!

thsnk you so much. I’m worried Incase I have to have a mamectomy and my hair loss. I don’t know what to expect. I’m just recovering from lymph node removal 

had a quiet Christmas. Just feel sick and ill. 

Is chemo painful. Did you try cool cap or is that a waste of time. I been told that’s very good. I know there’s many side effects and by the time one recovers time for another one. Thank you for replying. Hope all goes well for you in your scan xx. Babita 

angel. 

I am on ampritline tablets. 2 in evening it’ll helps to calm relax and sleep. Ask for them xxx. I’m on tramadol for pain.  Did you need to take more medicines. 

Could you carry on normal as possible. Going out etc in between chemos. Thsnks. Xxx 

Hi Angel,

You're in the middle of the worst bit - hang on in there, you're doing well and everyone gets the chemo blues from time to time. Poisoning your body to get better seems insane and your mind and body rebel against the treatment. 

It's an endurance race but believe me when chemo works and you get good news it is worth everything you've been through. 

Good luck with those scan results!

Dave

Hi Hun,

I'm flying through the chemo so far,no major side effects thank God,hope it stays that way,

Was hospitalised once for low immune system,I see people using the cold cap but don't know if it works,as I said I'm not worried about my hair,it will grow back eventually,chemo is not painful and the anti sickness medication is brilliant,if one doesn't agree with you they will change it over,but there great,

Tiredness is a bit of an issue,but everyone is different,just take it as it comes,if you need rest,take it,

Thank you for your well wishes,I'm here if you need to chat,

My mental health is very bad with it all,so if you need to,go to your Gp and get relaxers,xx

Ange!

Il ask my Gp about them thank you,

Yes Hun I can go out and do my normal every day things,I have the off day which is normal,

But youl be able to carry on as normal,

Chemo is not as bad as years ago,I'm on plexia for pain,make sure and use the mouth wash and Mycostatin for your mouth for a week after each chemo,as your mouth can get very very sore,xx

Ange!

Dave thank you so much for you encouragement,

I hope the next 3 chemos go as well as the first,if only I could manage this fear and panic Attacks,

I'd be flying,

How are you keeping? And what stage are you in your treatment? It's so so scary,

Please keep in touch,

Ange!

thank you so much for replying. Did you end up loosing all your hair. Just dreading everything. Scared and in shock still.  Thsnk you for your support x 

mycoastin where do I get that from ? Is it a mouthwash. 

Pain relief tramadol and the ampritline works for me. But obviously it’ll change. 

Any Advice on chemo treatment itself and should I try cool cap different opinions I guess xx
