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 

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

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 

I lost all my hair after the 1st chemo,but theyntold me I would,I had really long blond hair,I'm on 2 very strong chemotherapy s,you will get both mouth wash and Mycostatin from your nurses or doctor looking after you,make sure and get enough,I asked for 4 bottles of Mycostatin each time,

Try the dool cap if you want,if it works great,if not,it will grow back,chemo is not as scary as it seems,I remember I didn't know what to expect either,and yes it's all very scary,it's the unknown that we're going into,imhad to have a pic_line fitted as my veins are very very bad,best thing ever,they can do everything from that,no more black and blue bruises all over me,best wishes going forward Hun,x

Mycostatin is an antibiotic for Trush the mouth,it's brilliant medication,you'll get that from oncologist also,make sure and use it a few times a day every day after chemo,or you'll get horrible mouth ulcers and sore lips,my hair won't grow back untill chemo finishes,late February I think,never heard of a chemo goodie bag,proberly not intitled to itnin Ireland Hun,x

Hi Angel, well done so far and keep going it's definitely worth it. If i hadn't had chemotherapy i would have died end of February 2016. I've been living a normal life since. I've still got cancer I'm uncurable but can live with my uninvited guest.. Its worth fighting for. Good luck and keep fighting, I'm also looking after my disabled wife she needs 24/7 care. I promised I'd look after her if she'd marry me. She's 14 years older,.. Good luck..... Billy 

Thank you so much Billy,

You are so good to be still living with it and taking care of your wife,total respect to you,im only 50 and lost my husband 7 years ago to cancer,I looked afte him for 6 years and believe me it wasn't easy,

Now I have to deal with it myself and feel very alone,I'm so so scared all the time,can't seem to shake this fear and panic Attacks,everyone tells me to be positive but I can't,I don't know  how I'm to do it,I'm seeing a counselor but it's not helping,I can't concentrate on TV or reading or anything,it's cruel
