We fully understand the dread, everyone feels apprehensive about chemo - it does not have a good press! Unfortunately there is not much way of knowing how it will affect you until you start. I don't think anyone would have known I was having treatment unless I told them. I looked perfectly well - lost my hair, wore a wig. One person with a good knowledge of cancer remarked how lucky I was not to lose my hair! I worked throughout. But others find it much harder. Your temple unfortunately has had invaders - you hope you've got shot of them, but wisely you are doing everything you can to make sure! I know it's a bit extreme for a health regime, but try looking at it that way instead of a loss or a setback. There will be good days and bad days, but every day you are closer to your goal. Best wishes
