Newly Diagnosed

Hi Sam 

Take it one day at at time, 

so days are one hour at a time. 

I am sure that you will find plenty of support via the BCNA network. 

I have used oncology trained massage therapist for help getting thru my chemo. and I see a Kinesologist who helps me balance my body against the Chemo effects. 

If you have access to the Jane McGrath Breast cancer Nurse in your area connect they have been absolutely wonderful in sourcing correct information and supporting me thru the journey. 

If you personally dont want to wear a wig dont. 

I am quite happy bald .... Live in regional australia in a cold climate so wear a hat on cold days my kids and friends have bought me wonderful hats which I will donate to Westmead Kids oncology ward when I am finished with them..... Lions, sheep, tiger, Lilo from stitch, etc. 

I have heaps of scarves and chose what goes with what. 

my biggest tip is remember this is a season in your life .... and let go and allow yourself to sleep etc when you need to. ask for  help (housework etc) when you need it.
