Managing a Move for Treatment & Hair Regrowth
AI-generated title
Hi all, I’m Lucy, I was diagnosed with AML last year June ‘24, aged 38. I’m recovering from an allo stem cell transplant last November ‘24. Gratefully I should be cured (unless I relapse). I had to move from Bermuda to Boston, USA for treatment and I expect to be here til Nov when I celebrate my first re-birthday after SCT. My mother moved with me as I’d never want to go through this alone. It was a big adjustment leaving the rest of my family and friends (and cat!) as well as losing my job as my recovery took too long 🙄 I feel like my life is on pause and I forget that everyone else is carrying on as normal. Did others have complete changes in living arrangements or have to move far for treatment? Or relate to other aspects? Also any tips on hair regrowth? My hair has been growing for 6 months and missed the “cute chemo curls” memo - any advice on taming my “mangy rat met electric socket” look is welcomed!
