    Hi Taxi,

    All my hair fell out when I was I'll and having treatment - although it's a bit different for a chap. What I found was that, because ALL body hair went including from arms and legs, I was just freezing cold all the time!

    It'll grow back so don't worry. Let people stare! Or you could buy one of those fab headscarf things that people from Botswana wear. They're really classy!!

    Thanks everyone x

    Here's the thing I was afraid of posting but I need your prayers etc.On my review to see how radiotherapy was going(2 weeks ago this coming tuesday) I pointed out to the consultant that I felt lumpy/odd on my other side..he gave me a good examination and said he would order me a CT scan but then said an ultrasound would be quicker.....haven't even had the appointment through yet so need to phone them tomorrow.
    Please keep your fingers crossed that we are not going there for a 3rd time

    Aw Taxi even having to think about number 3 is beyond pants. And as for the hair, let them stare. I work on the premise it's them that's got to deal with it, not me. Worse bit is losing your nostril hair because you end up with a permanent cold.

    You're getting there. Everyone's in your corner...tad cramped but very positive. You will make it through and covered with glory, finesse and style xxx

    (((Taxi))), I will be hoping and hoping that everything is ok, and the lumpiness isn't anything you need to worry about.

    Taxi - I hope everything will turn out ok for you. After all you've been through surely not again but at least it's being looked at so they can put your mind at rest. Sometimes life is just so damn unfair!
