I have to have some more biopsy'sand a bone scan to see if I need chemo first or sur...
You have joined a great network. Plenty of people on here to give advise and support along the way.
Regarding your hair, I can understand how you feel, I thought the same at the beginning. However , I was glad to shave it off when it began to fall out (in your dinner, on the floor etc!??) I actually felt it was less of a burden to put on my scarves rather than have to wash, style and dry my hair each morning.
dont hesitate if you want to vent and let off steam. Even though all our treatments and symptoms are different (we are all unique in that respect), someone will be able to help you.
when I had my treatment, 6 lots of chemo, Mastectomy and radiation, I concentrated on one section at a time, ie chemo. Don't look too far ahead.
Let us know how you go.
