Ro10 I hear you,we all do and I too had identical diagnosis.I am 20 yrs older but my mum was also diagnosed young 39.Had gene tests not carrying gene.
I have just finished chemo half way then Radio and tabs for yrs.
I also felt shatter e d when my shoulder length hair(red) was falling out.Lots of groovy ways to wear a scarce and look great,shaved was empowering,as it as inevitable to come out so just got on with it.As some girls have mentioned different sites are in all capital cities.there's a free wig service in Melbourne and Think Pink offer different courses and in rural areas too.Breacan Cancer Council etc.Please don't despair it's only temporary and a process.Let's us now how things are going.Remember knowledge is power,take your time ,breathe and feel supported.debza
