Hi. I wonder if any one can help. I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am due to have my op next Friday. Everything is happening so fast. I am trying to be really positive. But it has just dawned on me that I may not be able to have my hair coloured. This has kind of topped me over the edge. Of all the things. Does anyone know how long before I can do something with my hair. Is it just me that is panicking about this. ??
If you can get your hair done - go for it - it will give you a boost before your operation. It is what follows that may dictate whether or not you can dye your hair if you need any further treatment.
Wishing you lots of luck for the op!!

Yeah - do it. I had my roots done and a cut just before the surgery as I wasn’t sure i’d be able to get out and about for a week or so afterwards, though as it turned out I was fine. I NEARLY had a pedicure too, to buck me up, but thankfully I read the pre-op info in time which said no nail polish to be on hands and feet, so I would have been well pi**ed off if I’d spent money on a peddi only to have the dear nurses take it all off for me .
Toes now nicely polished after the event - Dark Dhalia. I think it is important to keep our morale up at these difficult times, so you go and get your hair done girl. x
Thank you. I am booked in to have my hair done 24th of march. So hopefully it will be before treatment starts. I’m hoping that will be ok. Surely something has to go my way eh. X
Hi. Thank you for this. Yes your correct. I don’t know if I’m coming or going. I have my post op on Wednesday. My list of questions is getting longer by the day. So I shall also ask them as well. Thank you again. Xxx
