Yep... I became a statistic!

I am in the same boat ie: newly diagnosed. I have only had my first treatment last week and I'm now anxiously waiting for my hair to fall out and freaking out.  I did have long blonde hair halfway down my back but I had it all cut off prior to my first treatment.  I'm anxious that when it starts falling out it will make the whole BC thing really real again.  After reading all you lovely ladies comments - the common message that I'm hearing is that losing your hair is 'do-able'. You have all given me a much needed boost.  I also took great strength from the lady who commented about Christmas. Didn't think about it before, but one bad, bald Christmas is a small price to pay in the scheme of things. Thank you ladies
