To shave for wedding or wait?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with her2+ breast cancer in my right breast and 2 lymph nodes a few weeks back and started AC chemo last thursday (14/11/19) and my next round is on the 2/12/19. My wedding is ...
I would also wait and see. I started chemo and still had hair 3 weeks later, it was thinner but not bald. I had it cut shorter but that's it.
After four weeks it actually became brittle and then broke off in places and my scalp was tender so I shaved it. You may still have hair on your wedding day.
I also bought a synthetic wig, a short cropped style which was very light. Everyone says it looked great but I found it hot, that could have been the chemo though as I had lots of hot flushes.
Congratulations on your wedding, hope your day is fantastic
