Hi, I’m a couple of weeks ahead of you. Looks like the same treatment plan of 8 sessions over 16 weeks. I started on EC last Friday. Felt fine over the weekend. Fatigue and nausea from Monday to Wednesday, fine from Wednesday evening through to now. I was also very worried about my hair. I’m using a cold cap, was fine, didn’t find it too uncomfortable. I did get a good trim before treatment as missed my last hair appointment due to surgery and it was all turning into a knotty mess. Also, I think even after treatment has stopped, you can’t go for a hair cut straight away. 

Hi Ladies

• If any of you use fingerprint to unlock phone or any apps as a precaution you may want to change to an alternative. As my chemo progressed I lost my fingerprints. I know it may sound bizarre but it's something that can happen. Even now 2 years later I still have problems I also have nerve damage to the tips of fingers. The bottoms of my feet were also affected but never as bad as fingertips, they just felt like I had something stuck on the sole of my foot. I also had weird cravings (I never had any through my 2 pregnancies) one minute I would be craving pickled onion crisps, a few mins later a greasy cheeseburger to lemon drizzle cake to full Sunday roast. Family would ask if I wanted anything bringing over that I might like to eat. All I could say was no just bring yourself I never know what I want from.obe minute to the next. You may want to keep a journal for not just the emotional side but the weird stuff or the laughs you have with other patients and the nurses xx
