Thursday 23.10.25
Went into the office for the first time in months today. Went to drinks and a trivia night. I also had Subway for the first time in three months!!
Monday 27.10.25
In the past week my eyebrows and eyelashes have really thinned out. Like, why now?
The redness under my arm is getting worse and it's quite red under my boob.
I was awake from 4 this morning stressing about everything. I tried out the saline soak which was super stressful - not sure it'll do any good, it completely stuffs up my morning routine, it's cold, and it makes a mess!!
Wednesday 29.10.25
I'm getting used to doing the saline soaks but not really sure they're doing anything. The skin under my arm is getting quite red now, and it's a little blistery under my boob.
Saturday 1.11.25
The skin under my arm and boob is very red and raw.
And remember how my fingernails were hurting? Well now they're threatening to fall off completely!
Monday 3.11.25
The skin under my arm has started to peel. It's somewhat sore but not too bad. The good thing is it's above where my bra sits so no issues wearing a bra.
I'm worried my left index fingernail might fall off!
Tuesday 4.11.25
Underarm is still peeling, but under my boob is healing.
Fingernails still threatening to fall off.
Wednesday 5.11.25
My left index fingernail has actually separated from the nail bed! Eek!
Thursday 6.11.25
Took some photos of my poor fingernails..
Sunday 9.11.25
I took a photo of my hand - you can still see the shadow of the chemo leak from the first round of poisoning months and months ago.
I also took my photos of my fingernails.
Monday 10.11.25
My skin is recovering somewhat.
Thursday 13.11.25
Skin is fairly close to being healed. Still a little bit red but not bad. I stopped taking photos of the recovery today.
Monday 17.11.25 (I think)
Noticed a "beard" hair today! Just a hair a little tougher than the others that I get sometimes. My head hair is noticeably growing. Underarm hair has been super fine so not noticeable. Same with leg hair.
Tuesday 25.11.25
Some more photos of my fingernails.
Wednesday 26.11.25
My eyebrows have definintely returned in the past week or two. My underarm hair definitely has too, but only on my right side! And so has my leg hair (shaved my legs for the first time in months last week). And, ahem, other hair too!
I've been taking Letrozole for the past week and a half. Hard to know, but have felt a bit of joint stiffness after sitting in car for long periods.
