All the best with your chemo.Try not to worry too much,as a lot of ladies ( me included) have found that the start of chemo is a bit of a non event.It is such a build up of emotions,and then when you finally get through that first one,and get home again,because of the steroids you get given,you actually feel ok.It usually takes a few days before you will start to feel fatigue.Just remember to drink your water,as this is so important,and try to get out for a walk each day,as it alleviates the fatigue really well.I didn't want a wig,but I had several hats and turbans,and some scarves.All the best Joanne,and stay on here and let us know how you go.There is always plenty of help on here if you have any side effects and need advice on how best to manage them.xoxo Robyn
