You are not alone here jjoy.We have all got similar stories and help each other.How old are your kids? I think that makes a difference. You get swept along this journey with not alot of time to process it all.Seems such a fuss for a little lump doesn't it.They say you have cancer but you feel fine.Well you sure as hell don't feel fine once treatment starts and it's so long and drawn out with more twists and turns than a funpark ride.It is normal to be scared and cry. Chemo IS scary.I was soooo anxious before my first dose that they had to give me a calm you down pill.It's the unknown.And then ofcourse,you get the hair loss which I found very distressing.I've become an expert in bald head management.Keep coming onto this site as there is always someone to chat with.Put me as a contact if you like.
