Well here we go...I knew this was going to happen, but somewhere deep in my heart I was hoping I'd be the weird one that didn't lose my hair. It's day 14 from my first TC chemo treatment. When I woke...

hi Mishie,
I am 3 years since treatment nearly. I took control so the BC was in charge I shaved my head when I started to get the weird sensation on my head and hair began to come away... I had TAC then AC then taxol then CFM then radiation.
My hair began growing back curly to begin with. I have now got a wave in my hair something I never had before. My hair is reasonably thick again and I wanted to assure you that we all fear our hair not coming back again after chemo.
Do you have a wig organised ? Some local oncology units or breast care nurses have information of wig Libraries that hire wigs to those going through chemo. I didn't want a wig I chose scarves and hats. We are all different about what works for each of us.
I believe the distress is our lack of control when our hair is falling out.
Take a deep breath and remember we are hear to listen and happy to allow you to vent, cry laugh your way through this harsh journey we dont ask to be on.
