I am due to start chemo tomorrow and have been reading your tread for a while. It’s all a bit daunting and scary out hear on your own ! I would like to join your group if that’s ok to share experiences and support each other. I had grade 2 invasive ductal er and pr positive had 3 lymphs removed but all clear. Oncologist recommended chemo but not sure how effective it will be as mine is more receptive to hormone but she said she would have it if she was me so that’s how I’m here! I’m having FEC 6 rounds and going to give cold cap a bash!!! Lol it’s got to be worth it even if it goes in the end but maybe ill be lucky. I have seen a wig just in case. I wish everyone well stepping into the unknown!! And hope we all get through this like a breeze !!
Hi Tracy, reading your story just sounds the same as mine, I too start my chemo tomorrow , let’s hope we get through it as good as possible, I’m trying cold cap too, it took me long enough to grow it. But I have got a wig just in case. Where a outs in the country are you from?
Good luck tomorrow
Linda
