Recently Diagnosed

Hello. 

Ive recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had a Mastectomy on the 4th May. I had the first of six Chemotherapy treatments today  Can anyone recommend any gentle Chemo hats in preparation for the hair loss. Emotions are at an all time high !

Many thanks in advance

 

 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat SueCo.

    I'm sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with breast cancer but I'm glad to hear that surgery and chemo can be used to treat it. How has your recovery been going since you had your mastectomy? I hope it has been going well and you haven't been in too much pain. Also, how did your first session of chemo go the other day? 

    I'm sure some of our members who know where to get chemo hats or heading coverings from will reply soon but I have also included some information about preparing for hair loss which I found on our website here. Just click on the hair loss section to find out more. I would recommend talking to our cancer nurses about this as well so do give them a call when you can. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9.am - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps SueCo and that the rest of your chemo goes well.

    All the best,
