Hi,
I too was diagnosed in dec. I had a lumpectomy and ax dissection with 3/25 nodes positive. Unfortunately I also have a couple of tiny spots on my rib and sternum which they will just watch. Devastating. I'm 31 and live in melb. I started FEC at the end of jan & have had 2 cycles. Check out my blog for how it went. Cycle 2 has been harder because I was already unwell and still am. Have some kind of throat/nose infection.
I have a wig too, which looks great on and I get lots of nice comments, but sometimes I feel like a bit of a fraud wearing it. I find it easier when people know and we can joke about it. I had my hair cut short a week after first cycle and on day 19 in literally washed out in the shower. It got itchy and I just knew it was all loose. It was pretty awful, but once gone easier to manage and no longer itchy.
Stay well and away from anyone with bugs (hard if you have kids). Hope you find a great wig
