Hi All. I have been reading all your wonderful posts this past month (often late at night when I couldn't sleep) as I found out more about this challenging diagnosis and the accompanying roller coaster of feelings. I thought I was going to dodge the chemo path but it wasn't to be. I have my first cycle this friday - 4 cycles of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide - I will be very happy when the end of June arrives! It has really helped me reading everyone's experiences and thoughts as I know many more before me have done this and a whole lot more. I am having my hair cut next sat in prep for the big fall - and I am finding the hair loss the most daunting aspect at the moment. Not only because I hide behind it but damn now everyone will know.... Never mind it will pass. I appreciate the time others have taken to share their experiences as it helps me feel more prepared - thank you! It is such a supportive environment. I am sure to have questions soon. Jewel-ee :-)
