Grade 2 breast cancer.

Hi. I'm new here :)

i was diagnosed with grade 2 breast cancer that is also in my axilla lymphnodes on the 24th august this year. I've had my CT and thankfully it hasn't spread anywhere else. I've got my MRI tomorrow and my 'new talk' on Friday as well as a second oncology appointment. And then it really starts to hit home because the Wednesday after (23rd sept) I have my first cycle of A/C chemo! 

I can cope with being sick and tired; I'm just so scared of losing my hair. 

I feel like I won't feel like a woman any more. Is that a ridiculas thing to say or does anybody else feel the same?

    You are not complaining - and you dont sound silly!!!   Its just that I have been through a few things and hopefully can pass on a bit of what I have learned along the way in the hope it will help put your mind at rest.  Have fun trying on all the wigs on Weds! xx
