Chemo

Chemo in Breast Cancer

Hi , I've read that there are chemo drugs where you don't lose your hair. 

Can you ask your doctor/consultant about them or don't they take your wishes in consideration?

Does anyone know? TIA

  • Hi Steff

    So sorry to hear of your diagnosis- it is very hard at the start of this process before you know more. I had a different type of cancer, so had a different chemo to whatever you might be having. 

    Yes, your consultant will pull together all of your results and then a treatment plan will be made. There are lots of lovely helpful ladies who have gone through or are going through breast cancer treatment who can help you. 

    If you amend the title of your post to include the words breast cancer, I’m sure lots of them will come along to offer support and advice. x

  • Hello thank you for your kind words. I have to admit that it is hard to find your way through all this. 

    I'm not the person who asks for help , I have always relied upon myself rather than others. So its difficult for me to share what's wrong with me and to ask the questions. I know I shouldn't be shy about it cos everyone here has either been through it or are going through it right now and they understand how I feel.

    Thanks again and take care 

  • I know what you mean about finding it difficult to share, but you might find it really helpful to connect with other ladies who will understand your concerns. It’s scary to be told you have cancer, and can really help to share your worries. There are lots of threads about breast cancer and treatment on the forum, so you could look at those and find others in the same boat. Even reading them might be helpful to you, but please don’t be too shy to ask any questions-everyone is really helpful and understanding. x
