Addenbrookes have been quite forthright- they’ll tell you everything if you want to know! I just reread their notes and it says I can request a ward visit, so I may ask if they can fit me in on 26 when I’m having bloods and Covid swabs xxxxit would be nice to know what size the room is! Xxx

I suppose @ChrisCKW the size of the room will determine the size of removal van you will need !!!

Anyone used a sleeping cap after chemo? I’m not sure whether it will be too hot to wear a cap esp if weather stays hot, or if my head will be too sensitive and sore if I don’t.
(If you did was it cotton silk or something else?) Thank you xx

Well, @Lyn99 it protects a sore sensitive scalp during and after chemo from pillow/bedding rubbing.
It’s suggested on several sites, but I don’t know anyone who uses one xx

Hi! I can chime in and confirm that a sleeping cap can be a helpful tool during and after chemo. It can protect your sensitive scalp from irritation and rubbing against bedding or pillows while you sleep, which can be quite uncomfortable. You can find them online or at some cancer treatment centers. Sending good vibes your way!

Hey, sending you good vibes and lots of love! Losing hair can be tough and emotionally draining. It’s understandable to feel the way you do. It’s great that you have wigs and beanies on standby, but it’s okay to take your time to adjust to the new look. Your boys and your husband love you for who you are, not for your hair. Remember, you are a fighter, and you will come out stronger on the other side.
