wow! I'm glad I'm not the only 1 that feels this....it's so right, with treatment you knew what you had to do. Where you had to be and who your nurse was for the day, it seems like a crazy thought but clearly it isn't. Thank-you all for your support it means a lot. Finding this site has made me realise I'm not alone. Thanks again. I will keep you all posted on how my results go.

On Thursday i will get my results for my CT scan....all i can think is that something is there back in my body...but why am i worrying when i don't even know that that will be the case, i guess it's just so normal to think the worst immediately. If things are all good....all my tests will be cut back to once a month, which is great, but I'm feeling rejected by the world....life seemed easier in hospital and getting treatment...it might sound strange but i just can't seem to get my life back on track after cancer....

Hey Jules 2
I actually have 4 wigs at the moment and to be honest I am so over then...all the itchiness and being paranoid is driving me to the edge. Yeah i miss doing all that stuff and going to the hairdressers. I'm glad to hear you had a good laugh about the wigs 😃 good to see some humour come out of it. I am also interested to see how my hair will grow back too. Only time will tell.

Hey,
I didn't catch your name sorry. I can't explain how similar our stories are....When I found out that I was going to loose my hair I cut it into a bob also and then after my 1st round it all just fell out...same as you I was so devastated even though I knew it was meant to happen. To see my hair in my hands was the hardest thing I had to do in along time...I am a girlie girl and my hair was my all. I then did 2 rounds of treatment stopped for another operation and then started treatment again..and by then like yourself my hair was starting to grow back and I was getting really excited and then I did just 1 round of chemo and it all fell out again. At the moment I do wear wigs because I do still go out with my friends and don't really have the confidence like you to wear hats and scarf's out. Now it's just a big waiting and game and I guess I am very inpatient when it comes to my hair growing back, but I do know that it eventually will.

Hey Sharon
Thank-you for your response. I love that you understand about the frustration. My friends just don't get why some days I just am, and then it makes me more frustrated and we go around in circles.
I just joined this service yesterday and I am finding it really good at the moment and I am definitely thinking about using the phone services too.
Thank-you for your thoughts and same goes to
