Hi everyone. and welcome. I was diagnosed in Nov 2012 with BC & had a bi-lateral mastectomy because I have the BRCA 1 gene. Started reconstruction same time with tissue expanders. My chemo was FEC & hair loss was rapid around days 18 . My son gave me a no 1 & when I got home my dad shaved the rest off. I found ICE during chemo day helped my mouth sores but not until round 4 was I told about having ice. My last chemo was on 1st May & on Mothers Day I developed Febrile neuropenia & spent 8 days in hospital. My hair is steadily growing back ( grey with bit of curl ) my eyebrows & below as well. I am still having saline breast fills
which I find painful but I also have Fibromyalgia & my surgeon thinks makes the pain worse. Hoping to have implants done by xmas. I hope this is interesting to some of our new members and welcome to this site. Remember - we are all in this together. Leanne Xxx
