Im terrified of chemo side effects particularly hair loss. May seem an irrational, vain thought but genuinely terrified me. Has any had breast lump removed and just radiotherapy and being ok? X

Hi Autumn1,
It's certainly not vain or irrational, it is quite common and I'm sure there will be many others here who can understand and relate.
We have a page on our website about hair loss, which may be helpful to look through. In it there is a section about reducing hair loss from chemotherapy, including a suggestion to speak to your doctor if it's something you find upsetting.
It may also be worth searching this forum for some other relevant discussions about this, and people to potentially connect with. You can do this from the homepage of the forum, using the search bar at the top.
I hope you're able to find out more about potential next steps soon.
And hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here soon. We're always here whenever you need it.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben
