Hi there, sorry you have joined us but a big welcome nevertheless, you will find lots if friendly people here willing and happy to share their experiences. I had A/C, Taxol and Herceptin nearly five years ago (mastectomy, no family history of any cancer). Many women find losing their hair one of the hardest things, you are not alone. I really hated the weird feeling of my hair before it went so was almost glad to see it go. It started growing again while I was on Taxol. One of the inspiring comments from another of the good people on this site is Don't look back, you are not going that way! So don't grieve too much for your hair, look forward to getting it back. I didn't find A/C too bad and I loathed Taxol, but most people find it exactly the other way round. No issues with Herceptin at all. As you may have gathered, individual reactions vary wildly! Ask away about anything at all, there are no silly questions.
I have my five year test in 2 months, I think I am fine, I am living a normal life (work, travel, my only child is an adult but I have had two grandchildren in the last 2 years!). There can be an awful lot of life after cancer! Stick in there, this too will pass.
