Never thought I'd write a blog
I was first diagnosed on Feb 22. What a shock...I still want to know when someone will tell me it's all a big elaborate, painful prank - anyone?
Although I am fine telling other people I have breast...

Hi Claire, Shirl is our wisdom centre. Everything she says is how you will find it. You are definately number ONE. I quivered a little when you said that you would try the Cold Cap and that you were doing this so you could go back to work. One thing with this BC journey, you can't set anything in stone. You really do just have to "go with the flow" where treatment is concerned. I used the cold gloves and I can honestly say that I have had no trouble with my nails. In actual fact they are better than before. It is quite a challenging treatment and you are a better "girl" than me to attempt the cold cap. I"m pleased that it wasn't offered to me as I probably would have tried it. I shudder just thinking about it. I had long hair for about 35 years but amazingly it didn't worry me to lose my hair through chemo. It was quite a nice change to wear caps and hats and to now watch my hair growing back and having different hair styles. Come on line and let us know how you are fairing - someone will be "an ear" for you. XLeonie
