Reality really hit me last Thursday after meeting with the Oncologist for the first time. My chemo of 6 months (AC2 Taxol) will start in about 2-3weeks I will find out the date next week after I have the port a cath put in.
Well as I mentioned before, the reality of loss of hair really did hit me hard, up until then I was telling myself and beleiving that a miracle would happen that I would not loose my hair. Even though I had looked at wigs ad even tried some on just in case I still keeped telling myself I would not need them. Since last Thursday I can't stop crying when I think about it. I know it is not important when compared to saving my life but I am so upset. I try really hard not to cry and crying also makes my tissue expander pain feel worse. I will attend the Look Good, Feel Better workshop on Gold Coast next month. I still wake at night time thinking this is all a bad dream. I think I am doing well emotionally. Thankyou for this group of caring and supportive people it really does help. xx Nicole
