  • Hello lici,

    welcome, although I am sorry you find yourself on here.

    we are in the same boat, mine is grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma ( with mucinous thrown in for good measure) 

    I find out on wed when chemo starts....it's as scary as it gets isn't it? 

    Please know you will have plenty of support here ( me for one) 

    when does your start? Xxxx

  • P.s..u have 100% support from me also :)

  • Being on this forum really has been my coping mechanism, there are so many of us here that totally get one another.

    we shall have to compare chemo! I go for a wig fitting this thurs....the thought of being bald!! Eek!! 

    Its going to be a long tough road but we can do this. I hope you have a good support system at home too...xxx

  • I've been contemplating weather to write on here or not today I just 4ght y not....yeah we will...and we will.be fine...we got this...omg the 4ght of being bald I've brought scarfs already and can't wait for my wig fitting let me know how it goes...uea I have a very good support system at home. I'm sure you do also xxx

  • Apart from my sister everyone has been fab, they are all behind me 100 percent. My sister however suggests I refuse chemo...imagine how that made me feel??? I have decided not to update her on my journey, I don't need that kind of support! 

    I am glad you decided to post on here, we all help each other.....

    I am probably going to go for a real hair wig, I know they cost more but I need it to look as convincing as possible! I also enquired about micro blading my eyebrows but it's a no go for me as I won't be able to lie flat on my back for 3 hours....

    come on lass....let's do this! Xx
