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

  • Hello

    Your oncologist will let you know the chemo drugs you will need that will be the best for you.. I had FEC chemo drugs after breast cancer surgery and did lose my hair but my cancer was HER positive. My hair has grown back and I've been to the hairdressers today for cut and blow dry! 

  • Hello Silverdays,

    thanks for your reply. I don't have a oncologist yet as I'm still waiting for more test like ct scan. Due to covid half the staff is at home sick and it will take abit longer to get that appointment. I think the doc wants to wait till she has all the results so I can get a treatment plan. 

    I'm sorry I dont know all the medical terms like FEC and HER. These terms and shorts going over me head at the moment as I'm still coming to terms with me having cancer. 

    I hope everything goes well for you. I can imagine that it was a wonderful feeling to be at the hairdressers again. 

     

  • Yes sorry, you are early stage. Your team will get all the results together , biopsies and scans and then decide on the best treatment for you. It is overwhelming at first. 

    best wishes

    Silver
