Hair loss

Hi Tonya It's also been 8 months since my chemo finished and still have very short and very grey 'fluffy' curly hair which is fairly thin on top. I didn't wear a wig when I was bald but opted for scarves but thank goodness I didn't have to wear them in the summer as they would have been very hot. I was also on Taxotere and Herceptin in the 2nd round of chemo and have just finished my Herceptin infusions. I am still on Arimidex so don't expect things to change for quite a while. I can now say that I am really a 'grey nomad'. Have just started using this network and only wish I had started much earlier when first diagnosed as was a very lonely and scary time even though I had great support from family and friends. Can remember longing to be able to talk to someone who was going through the same thing at that time. One thing I haven't noticed anyone having problems with as far as I have read is peripheral neuropathy which has hit me pretty hard. Very painful and debilitating at times. I was always a very active person enjoying tennis, golf, bike riding and walking and now can't do any of that. I have it in my hands and feet and wonder if anyone else is suffering the same after effects. I still haven't been able to return to work which has been quite financially draining as I thought I would be back at work within a few months and now it's been 16 months since my op. Sorry to have waffled on so. All the best on the rest of your journey or should we call it our 'nightmare'. Regards
