@mamajite Thank you so much for checking on me. I’m not very good at navigating this site so just posted an update that may be redundant because I forget what I’ve already said. I apologize. How are your treatments going? What have you found most helpful? How are you feeling and coping? I start tomorrow. Prayers and hugs to you that you will be better very soon. ❤️

@bdurel no worries at all. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend's daughter. 🙏🏻
I'll be sending you good thoughts tomorrow. try to take cancer stuff one day at a time because it really is overwhelming. I hope you will be able to take it easy this week as you adjust to how your feel after your treatment. when my mom had chemo, she had a tough time on day 3 and 4 and started feeling much better by day 5. do your best to stay hydrated (something with electrolytes) even if you don't feel like eating too much.
I can empathize with your feelings about your hair. I've lost about half of mine and it's just enough that no style looks good. 😓 I'm doing all of the things (Routine Wellness shampoo/conditioner for hair loss, oral minoxidil, red light therapy) but they haven't helped as much as I had hoped. that said, everybody is different. my mom didn't lose her hair from her chemo. I've asked my oncologist if there might be other treatment options I could try, aside from just continuing Tagrisso indefinitely, and I'm waiting to hear back. 🤞🏻
