Newbie!

Hi, 

I was diagnosed with grade 3 IDC breast cancer on 4th February 2016. I have had lumpectomy and negative lymph nodes, now waiting for Chemotherapy on 23rd March. Only 4 weeks of treatment, then 3 weeks of radiotherapy. Bit concerned about hair loss, but what is hair loss to a healthy life!!

  • Hi and welcome to the forum. You are right, hair is not really the issue and although a worry for some - it will grow back pretty quickly.

    Just concentrate on getting better.  Wishing you all the very best with the rest of your treatment x

  • Hi try the ice cap when having chemo it might save your hair i used it and it worked for me ,it gives you a slight head ache at first but the body gets use to it.It has to be worn befor treatment when chemo is going through and after the chemo has gone through it doe's take time but i felt it was worth doing .Sue x
