I had Bc 12 years ago, partial mastectomy, triple positive, grade 3 stage 1.8 lump, FEC chemo, rads, Herceptin, hormone treatment, recurrence in scar a moth ago, Ld reconstruction, told triple neg, but now 5% er pos but Tc X4…getting married this thursday, so no honeymoon and rubbish start to married life! Aiming for cruise in september but dreading being ill and losing hair,
Anyone else starting chemo soon?
Doglover so sorry to hear that you are back on the journey again!?
What an awful way to start married life!
I do hope that you will be well enough for you cruise in September. Stay positive.
Regarding hair you could try cold cap?
If not I would recommend that you purchase a wig and get it cut to your own style so you have it ready!
Good luck!?
Hi
I’ve just started a monthly thread for June, so maybe you could start there, and I’m sure others will join soon.
I had TC chemo in 2016, so happy to help if you have any questions.
If it’s any consolation, I found it had less side effects than those on here who have fec. I had no sickness, and was not unwell at all. My biggest challenge was the fatigue, but that is something I struggle with anyway.
