Early breast cancer

Welcome on board, whilst you don't want to be here and we are all sorry you are this is a great forum for help and support.

Dependant on the chemo you are having yes you will loose your hair and thats hard, I was horrified at loosing mine but theres not much we can do about it.

I had long heair and just before my 1 st chemo got it cut short and yes like clockwork on day 14 it was coming out in handfulls. My husband shaved it and I sat crying whilst he did it. Prior to this I bought loads of hats and scaves in readiness. I had a wig but really did not like it and only wore this once.

Now I am 9 months post chemo with a beautiful head of hair AND I have curls. I love the curls, I had straight hair my whole life.

OK and here we go with a share that I have never done before because its not my story to tell, my eldest daughter had breast cancer before me, she got this when she was 34. I know its a hard road for young woman, especially if you have not had your family yet or even decided if you want a family. there are so many more decisions that you need to make that aren't there for us older ladies.

I wish you well with your journey and will watch out for your posts.

Sending you hugs

Donna
