Hi @Lgrimsey,
Sorry about your bc diagnosis but welcome to this network.There’s a real sisterhood here and a wealth of experience and knowledge.My first bc diagnosis was back in 2003 and I had 2 teenage girls at the time too- one was in her HSC year.I felt guilty and ofcourse wanted to put on a brave face for them.Infact,you find yourself putting on a brave face for everyone. You don’t have to here. You’ve started with the hardest treatment in my opinion- chemo is the pits! Just go with your body’s signals- eat what you want,rest when you want,feel miserable when you want.A lot of women embrace the bald head- I didn’t! You are wise to take each treatment at a time.It’s a long tough journey but love n support gets you through.Put yourself first now and take care of you. xx
