So sorry to hear your news. I am half way through chemo, some days are difficult, others easier. I wanted to say like other women that have posted that losing your hair is ok, it's clean, neat, no more bad hair days, lots of pretty hats and scarves and wigs to wear and frankly quite helpful when you have so much else going on in your life. I plan to always have very short hair from now one, once it grows back. Trust your doctors and nurses, they will have to work out how to deal with your diabetes and chemo. Once chemo brain sets in, we are very dependent on experts. Good luck.
