Kat Welcome! Sorry to hear your story! Ive been through BC twice now 2011 and 2015, the last being 3rd stage aggressive. I did scans, u'sounds, needle biopsy, core biopsy, but none of those things confirmed my diagnosis until I had a lumpectomy. I did 4 FEC and 8 Taxol, My Oncologist didn't recommend scalp cooling taking FEC as he said it isn't effective. I have heard however and have friends that did AC used it and their hair thinned right through the top. So maybe ladies who've had AC who tried it may be helpful. My Mum also had BC at 40, my only relative and survived 26yrs. I had to have Gene testing due to recurrence and Im negative to Brca Gene, but am now 1yr post treatment and heading for mastectomy as prevention.
