Forgot to mention that this time it was a very quick hair loss scheme. On the previous chemo (ABVD), although I didn't lose all my hair, what I did lose was a very slow progress. I guess different types of chemo, and different people have very individual reactions. The majority of the public have no idea there are so many different types of chemo, relying entirely on the media's depiction of chemotherapy. This usually has a character losing all their hair from one soap episode to the next. Although cancer is a very much spoken about and advertised subject people are very in the dark about it all. There are so many people I speak to that have never even heard of the lymph nevermind what it actually does...but then, doctors haven't a clue about what's good and bad for lymph (diet wise).
This isn't an attack on the public at all. I was in the dark as well but this has been going on for such a long time now that it is hard to remember what it was like to not have such a detailed databank on cancer. I'm not even saying that people should have this knowledge.
Some good friends mentioned that I now look like Lex Luthor. A mastermind? Yes. A criminal? No..erm, yes, on some levels.
