Treatment
Well I am as ready as can be for my first chemo on Thursday.I am on a 3 weekly cycle of 3. I am on fluorosuracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide and then I am on docetaxel. I believe I have a break...
Annie,
I live in the country too and I was able to order a wig through Cancer Council - they get you to fill out a form, send a sample of your own hair and a photo then match it and send a wig to you for loan.
Just an idea as I understand how difficult is is for those of us living long distances from the city. I also did the Look Good Feel Better workshop and it was fabuous! Loaned a wig from there too so I had a couple to play with! (Eventually I didnt wear the wig anymore...too hot in summer...instead my beautiful twin sister made me a heap of beautiful coloured scarve/hats. Four months since my last chemo and my hair is growing - about 2cm length!
Good luck with the rest of your treatment.....you will be amazed how quick it will go for you!
