About Me

My name is Katherine Bown (maiden: Formosa) and on 23rd February ‘09, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This is my story, my diary, which I hope will be support to those who are battling breast cancer or those waiting for their biposy results that are eager to find out more…

And to my friends and family, I thank you all for you continuous support and sometimes when I’m in hibernation and don’t feel like talking, this is a great way to keep you all up-to-date with my news.

For those who don't know me, I’m 33 years old, I live in Cardiff and I recently got married. I run a website, www.urbantraffic.co.uk and I also work part-time as a Communications Manager.

Bad Head

My head is so painful. I'm not sure if its dry skin irritating the hair fall out or its just the hair fall out. Eitherway, its painful.

So much, that I can't sleep at night, I'm waking up in the early hours and lying in bed with my sore head. I've tried moisturing my head but its not working :-(

I've been showering but not getting my hair wet in case that made it worse, but yesterday the hair was looking a bit greasy so I decided to wash it with baby shampoo... OMG! Tears! It was the most painful experience. No-one told me it would be like this, in fact the hub and I Googled chemo hair loss pain and nothing came up. Surely I can't be the only person experiencing this!

If any of you know anyone who's had chemo that causes hairloss, please get in touch as I don't know what to do. Should I shave it, should I leave it and how can I stop the pain :-(
