Last year,Sep 2nd I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma grade 2.Like you,it came as a bolt out of the blue.I had a mastectomy,followed by chemo,and I am now on Tamoxifen.I feel well,and my hair is coming back.Yesterday I had my first haircut!! Everyone's treatment is different,so try not to stress until your doctor has outlined your plan for you.I was one of the ladies that found chemo not bad at all.As Adean said,try and have someone with you ,especially at that first appointment,where they discuss treatment,because there is SO MUCH to rememeber!Write it down as well,and ask any questions that pop up in your mind.No question is silly!Stay on here,because this blog is the most amazing place for support throughout your treatment.CheersxoxRobyn
