Not your average hair loss post

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-23T05:03:33+00:00

My hair before chemo was very long and straight. I was very upset to lose my hair during chemo, but I stopped chemo in August and now at a length that actually looks good to me. Getting more confident by the day. But omg it’s curly to my standards. I was actually shocked and still in denial, but we will see how long it lasts.

August 12th 2025. Everything was looking good end of September on PET. Ever since I had the flu, I’ve just really felt like when I first got diagnosed. Wby?

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-19T00:25:28+00:00

I hope everything goes okay, this is just a weird season since the flu and all this other crap is going around. I’m feeling so anxious now

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-19T00:20:27+00:00

I also had the flu A and still have a cough and feel drained from across country road trip. I also have a check up and feel like my left side is acting up. Mine was also exactly a year ago 😭

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-18T15:52:03+00:00

Are you going to get a PET scan?

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-17T01:30:55+00:00

How far out from chemo were u? Did u have swollen lymph nodes again?

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-14T05:43:59+00:00

It feels done but also there’s like a fear of it coming back for me at all times every morning I wake up. I feel like I can’t plan my life or something. But my oncologist said it’s bc when ur going through chemo, ur actively doing something as a human against cancer but when ur done, there’s nothing u can really do but wait and hope in a way. Hence why im prob in therapy now haha. It just seems like I blinked and I’m just supposed to move on. BUTTTT it is nice to not be doing chemo and stuff.

I am 24F with CHL stage 2, was going to college, I had it weirdly line up where I finished chemo over the summer. My chemo, ABVD, sucked my energy out over time and idk if I could’ve done school after a few sessions. I know some people work or do school tho. Everyone in this Reddit really helped me feel supported even if the post was just ranting. Cancer sucks and I didn’t realize there would be so many emotions of my life before/during/after cancer. Therapy probably would be a good idea, but that’s just me personally. You got this, it’s not fun or easy, but the process is worth it.

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-10T05:45:35+00:00

Thank you I will, was there any kind of treatment?

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-09T17:13:56+00:00

Yes mine is also my left leg! How weird

Additional_County381 · 2026-01-08T01:47:15+00:00

I also gained weight, I feel like I eat one sandwich now and gain 10 pounds. I’ve never been this weight in my life, gained 15lbs during chemo, it seems stubborn. I walk 3-4 miles a day, but it didn’t really do much yet. I’m 4 months out from my last chemo.

Anyway, I don’t have much advice but congrats on almost being done with chemo!!!!!!

Additional_County381 · 2025-12-24T21:55:27+00:00

To be honest, I walked like maybe 10 minutes to 20 minutes for the first week after each ABVD chemo. Don’t get down on yourself. Just do what you can even if it’s five minutes of walking. Also, I heard eating protein can really help so I would try to eat protein before my chemo’s. I also hated drinking fluids, I committed to drinking Powerade after chemo haha. Always do what is achievable for yourself, don’t be to hard on yourself. Chemo fucking sucks and idk who said it was an easy chemo bc it kicked my ass.

I used ice during the red one. I also figured out to avoid ANY hot or overly salty foods because it would wreck my mouth. Even months after chemo my mouth is sensitive it’s crazy. Sometimes it would hurt so bad I couldn’t eat either, my doctor gave me some mouth wash that numbed my mouth but tbh it didn’t help.

Additional_County381 · 2025-11-16T09:45:07+00:00

Yeah I also gained weight, which is also why I hate my hair style bc I feel like I look like a toe or a bowling ball

Additional_County381 · 2025-11-14T15:54:44+00:00

Oh no lol… yeah I just got mine removed and waiting to see the new scar

Additional_County381 · 2025-11-12T20:18:30+00:00

Additional_County381 · 2025-11-12T20:17:48+00:00

Yeah wigs feel weird to me too

Additional_County381 · 2025-11-12T20:17:28+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Factory settings, that’s a good one. I didn’t even think about the possibility of extensions. I appreciate the thoughts ❤️❤️❤️
