Hi as Tanya said be informed and be empowered. Explore all your options and see what treatment is best for your particular type of cancer. As we know there are many different breast cancers, which is why they 'tailor make' our treatment. I too shaved my head after the first chemo round as I could only do my "Your having a bad hair day' party tricks a couple of times. That was when someone at work complained I pulled a hunk out from the back and waved it at them :) .The thought of treatment can be a bit overwhelming still I had a young family (2002) and I decided that I wanted treatment with the lot to give me the best possible outcome. My kids are now 16,19 & 20 and I am very happy to see them grow into awesomw adolescents. There is a younger womans group online maybe send those gals a message. I was younger but pleased to say I am older now and still standing.
One of the things I have done post treatment is ridden a Harley with 40 other breast cancer gals(Amazon Heart Thunder) from Brisbane to Sydney 2009. Something I would never have contemplated before!
I also agree to stick with the people who can support you.... the ones who do not just pop aside for now, focus on getting through this and enjoy the things in life that make you & Mo happy. Take Care Jo
