Early breast cancer

Wow! Thanks so much everyone! I'm glad I've joined your community. My first chemo was FEC, and I will have that 3 times each 21 days apart. Tomorrow is day 10 so I am having a blood test to check my neutrophils. During the epirubicin part, I had a reaction and came out in hives. It was picked up quickly and I had steroids and antihistamines then continued the epirubicin without any further reaction. I now have a rash on my legs only, so that's weird. My face has also broken out in acne so I'm not looking my best. I will ask tomorrow if it's part of the side effects. I still have my hair 9 days post Fec although I've been told it will fall out very soon. Can anyone who has experienced this tell me how it happened for them? Is it sudden? Do most people just shave as soon as it starts? Or do they just let it fall out? I'm sure I will come up with many questions so it's great knowing you're all here. Unfortunately, many other women will be diagnosed, and it's great they can come here to connect with others who might have the same questions as them. Wishing love and light to all who need it, Kate x
