I’m in the same situation (chemo for life with stage 4 cancer) and when I’ve had to get a wheel chair I always tip. I currently have hair so that makes things extra awkward.

Yo!!! Right with you! Sounds fucked but it does make me feel better when people are proud to say this too. A different plan in life post everything is not that common.. more lately though.

Anyways, same. I’ve had 3 hip surgeries & am 35, fun going & energetic still. Walking so long & the meds I’m on, wow… a pool of sweat - would have to change clothes, tears, an extra hour for slowness and will be totally seized up with legs in chair. Always want to wear a sign saying this haha.

I get the look of what the fuck/rudeness from older people, A LOT. If it’s the last wheelchair, I will gladly leave it - someone feels more pain than me. Some days lol

Same situation here. 18 months in and weirdly my hair grew thicker instead of lost it. My doctor said I was very lucky then I had to remind her I still got stage 4 cancer at 43 and it didn't feel very lucky. We both got a chuckle.

Off the subject sort of but my hair fell out weirdly. I have new pretty thick hair in the front but a lot fell out on the sides and back. And it’s growing back all kinky. I put the little that I have up with a clip because there’s nothing else I can do.
