Positive

hello some positives for those starting the journey mine started in June 2015 lumpectomy lympth node removal 6 positive nodes left breast mascetomy expander in 5 months plus of chemo 5 weeks of radio to go then reco later in year.  I like most of us lost so much and really struggled at times some pictures I lightly dyed my hair today ( well what's came back ) managed to keep my fingernails. Eyebrows  growing no lashes it feels good to have parts of me back so an uplifting post still fighting for a while yet xxx

    Getting it all back bit by bit. Just seems unattainable in the middle of treatments. Thanks for the boost and I hope I am back on deck like you in the not too distance future.

    Hi Tracy, love the hair & nails. My hair is about same length as yours, came back completely white. So I decided to have some fun with it, 4 colours in 4 days till I found one I liked. What the heck, if I damaged it i could always shave it off & start again! now I'm brave enough to go out without a wig or scarf, just me and my 1cm hair :-)) hope you are keeping well, Trace??

    Wow, your hair is looking great already and can't believe how good your nails are too. Best of luck with the rest of your treatment, a little way to go, but you are heading down the home straight :-) Jane xx
