It's been a while since I've been on here, and I hope everyone is doing well on their treatments or are recovering well for those of us luck enough to be on the other side.!!
I wanted to post a pic of my hair....it's started coming back through properly at beginning of Sept and I think it's a pretty good amount of growth.!! I've been using Watermans Grow Me shampoo (bought off amazon) and I love it.!!!

Looking great Sandy. I had brain scan and torso CT scan yesterday so fingers crossed all is clear. bone scan was clear 3 weeks ago. my hair is also returning but as baby hair so hairdresser shaved is very short to help it thicken up. All is generally weel here. continue to make a great recovery. Lainey xx
Thank you Lainey, good news on your bone scan and fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed for clear results on your brain and torso ct scan.!!
I am also taking biotin tablets to help with thickening and strengthening my hair and seems to be working, my nails are stronger too as they got quite week during treatment.!!

Luv Vicky.x
I was still feeling pretty fed 4wks after last treatment it really was about 8wks later I started to feel much better, so it will happen 😊
My eyebrows though are a result of make up though, Benefit BrowZings..it's fab, it's a wax and powder combination
