    Thanks for your tips! ❤️ One of my favorite products was organic cold pressed castor oil for my eyebrows and eyelashes to use before, during, and after chemo. Kept all my lashes and only lost a few hairs out of my brows. I also used tea tree nail polish strengthener by Jason to help keep my fingernails and toenails strong and from discoloring from chemo treatments!

    Marina your tips and the products you suggested have helped me manage this journey. I have stage 3 ovarian cancer and have been thru 6 rounds chemo and now another 3 cycles of another drug. I came out of this with just a wee bit nerourapthy in my small toe. I believe this is due to my faithfully using the ice gloves and slippers! Bless you for sharing. P.s. got some crazy chemo hair coming back. Lol

    I have a question, the cool gloves for preventing neuropathy, do you use it during the six hours the chemo lasts ? Or do you use in intervals of 20 min each hour?

    • @MarinaBlackford
      @MarinaBlackford  2 года назад +1

      Chemo for me was one hour for each infusion so 2 hours in the chemo chair (not the hour before of premeds or the blood draw and labs). So I would wear them the whole time but I would ease into the ice gloves. I would start on the outside of the glove with my hand on it then start to put my hand in them. It’s very cold but will help prevent neuropathy.

    Marina, I am newly diagnosed with breast cancer, have just had two chemo treatments, so am still a newbie at all of this. Thank you for your videos and tips. I am starting to lose my hair and would like to hear from you...and others...how you came to terms with the loss, and what you did to deal with it. I don't like the idea of wigs, but don't know how I will feel about going without. I am looking at videos about tying scarves, looking at caps and hats, etc., but am a bit overwhelmed with it all right now. Any suggestions anyone can make would be appreciated.

    • @MarinaBlackford
      @MarinaBlackford  Год назад

      Hi, thank you for being here! I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Losing the hair is a big part of the journey. I think you said it well, how do you deal with the loss? It is just that; a loss. I would select a scarf and a head wrap that look comfortable and pretty to you. I think it’s important to have those ready. Wigs are great option if you want to do that. I would suggest going to a wig shop first to try some on if you can. To be honest, you don’t know how you’re going to feel until it’s all gone. And I think we all need to feel those emotions when we’re there. That’s the only way to get through that part of the journey. Take it one day at a time as hard as it may seem. I’d love to hear back from you to see how you’re doing. ❤️
