Been a while

[Sandy108]

Hi all,

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.!!!

Wow, you look amazing, has all your treatment finished, I wish you continued good health x

[Sandy108 in reply to Jennymary]

Thank you, yes my treatment is over apart from some corrective and possibly risk reducing surgery next year.! I had my last treatment on the 18th July and it's been onwards and upwards since.!

Hope you are keeping well Jennymary xx

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.!!

Thank you, I hope your op goes well next week.!

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

Hey Sandy, You look fab !!

I have my 6th chemo cycle tom before surgery. Finallyyyyy long awaited last one hopefully . Fingers crossed. My eyebrows have started thinning a bit , Need to shop for a good brow pencil now.

Is the hair texture same as before ?

Wish you good health . xxx

[Sandy108 in reply to Sango]

Thank you, it seems thicker than before which I don't mind.!

My eyebrows are courtesy of Benefit Brow Zings, it's a wax and powder combination but its fab, I never really bothered with my eyebrows before.!!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow and I hope your surgery goes well xx
