    Hi there, after my hair came back in my hairdresser recommended Nioxin shampoo. Its 8.50 for a 125ml tube but you don't need a lot and its really helped thicken my hair up (more so than normal high street ones). I know its expensive but trust me it works and it smells divine. There are 4 different kinds of Nioxin shampoo. Level 1 fine/thinning hair, Level 2 ultra fine/thinning hair, Level 3 fine/thinning colour treated hair, Level 4 ultra fine/thinning colour treated hair. If you search in Google you'll find where stocks it. Honestly it really makes a difference.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
  • Hi, What about any foods that she likes but wasnt allowed to eat when she was having chemo. I know dad had quite a list he wasnt allowed to eat.

    If you really don't want her finding out then speak to the nurse at the health centre she's with. They'd be able to keep you right about what your Mum wouldn't have been able to eat.
