You are on the roller coaster well and truly! In less than 2 weeks you start chemo, and the sooner you start the sooner you finish. I found Taxol (Paclitaxel) was kind to me so far as side effects went - hope it is for you, too. My other treatment was different so don't know about your first 12 weeks. Will cross my fingers for you.Put up a photo after your buzz cut - will be thinking of you! Short hair is still a shock - I am not used to it yet but have to admit it's far easier to manage.Let us know about your BRCA tests when you find out. It is great to hear you so positive and full of fight. They can't prescribe that! Stay in touch -Michelle xx
