POST MASTECTOMY

Hi there Jel

Thanks for your response, I have basically braced myself for the chemo, definitely do not want to miss anything that's for sure, my margins were clear post op but I'm still anticipating that chemo will be an option, thanks for the heads up, I will expect the worse and hope for the best I guess now if I have to have it as you said everyone is different in how they cope with chemo, so from what you are telling me it seems preventative chemo is just as  bad as the other chemo and I'm anticipating now that it will be hell most likely including the hair loss is that right??? I have tonnes of hair and its really long and thick so when I find out for sure what treatment plan I need is it better I chop it off shorter to manage better as its going to fall out anyway?? My girlfriend who has had chemo for her breast cancer says that its really painful when it falls out and she just shaved it all off??? Any advice on this will be appreciated too from anyone. As for work. I'm a nurse and my workplace is so supportive so I'm lucky that way thanks for your help and wishing you all the best kind regards and hugs Margie
