Hi Everyone

I’ve just had a mastectomy two weeks ago and recovering well.  Hoping to go back to work next week.

i will start chemo in a months time but I’m really scared of losing my hair and I know that’s just part of treatment.  I’ve already been to see about wigs etc but even that fills me with dread. X

  • HI Jax,


    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but glad to hear that you are recovering well following your mastectomy. Most people dread the thought of losing their hair. Have you looked into wearing a cold cap? This is not for everyone and it doesn't always work, but it is worth a try. Losing one's hair is never pleasant, but remember that this is only temporary and it is a small price to pay for the gains that chemo offers you.

    I hope that your chemo goes well.

    Please keep in touch and let us know know you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
