I had my hair cut in a pixie before starting, then clipped about 1/4 inch long when it started coming off in the shower. Get some nice soft warm hats!
It’s been 8 years since I completed TCHP chemotherapy which was very difficult. But, I am here today, doing workouts and living life. You can do it.
About 3 years after I completed treatment, my best friend was diagnosed and given the same treatment plan (during early days of covid! - imagine). She, too, is here today better than ever. She did not have such a difficult time with the TCHP as I did. You may be like her (driving herself to appointments!) but if you’re more like I was, just hang on and do your best to follow the guidance the Cancer Center nurses and your ocologists give you.
I also kept a journal, tracking meds, food/drink intake, thoughts.
Best of luck to you - sending a virtual hug ❤️
@cedarlou, such a helpful and hopeful post for @missmollyd and anyone else getting ready for chemotherapy.
Mary Lou, how are you doing now? Do you ever go back to the journal or was that more of a tracking journal, useful in the moment, but not for revisiting?
