This may sound banal but starting Chemo on Wednesday and would like to get prepared skin care wise, I have TNBC and am 60, I am on a tight budget but still want to look after myself, Any idea on best skin care on a budget? I know I will be losing my hair so what to use on my scalp etc? What are your best tips.

  • Hi Lynne, 

    I noticed you haven't had a reply just yet so I just wanted to wish you all the best with your chemo next week and to share some information we have about hair loss.

    I hope this comes in handy but I'm sure some of our members will be along soon to share some of their tips and advice as well.

    If you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable in this area and will do all that they can to help.

    Kind regards,
