I just want a moan. As most of you are aware taxotere has made me permanently bald and i am trying to get some compensation fom Sanofi Aventis to buy me wigs.
I have just been out for a great night, really good time, drinking dancing and laughing - what could spoil it??? yes some stupid prat at the bar. I went to pay my bill and there was a guy there i have never seen him before. While i was writing my cheque he said " so what are you then a surgeon" I could of smashed my glass in his face.
I am not a violent person but come on, what gives someone the right to say such crap.
My reply was " i will get my pair of tweezers, go up your large colon and pinch hold of your appendix and pull it out through your colon" “how does that sound”? and do you know what, he went mad at me and told me to shut up !
An hour before my landlady said she is going to get the press down and hold a fund raising night for me, and get enough money to buy me a new wig and some publicity. She is an attractive women in her 30’s and she is going to shave her head and get some others to do it. I was telling her that i am sick to the back teeth of people lately asking me very sympatheticly ‘and hows your health’ i reply ‘fine hows yours’ and then they say ‘no really how are you’ aarrrggggggggg this drives me friggin nuts. Then 30 mins later, after i told her this, this incident happens.
I cried all the way home and it spoilt what was a great night out.
Pineapple, I’m so sorry your evening was ruined. All I can say is that some people either don’t know how to respond, or are just plain stupid, or rude.
For every thoughtless person out there, there must be at least 5 more kind ones. Unfortunatly you didn’t meet the right ones last night.
I’m sure men don’t realise how traumatic it is for women to suffer hair loss. Although I didn’t like wigs I wouldn’t let anyone see me bald and covered my head with scarves all the time.
I hope you only have positive encounters from now on!

Because i permanently have to wear a head scarf i get it were ever i go. Its just a constant reminder to everyone and a talking point i suppose. I wish they would all shut up about it, its bad enough for me having to see my ugly head in the mirror every day without getting constantly when i am out the house.
A couple of years ago i was at a new years eve do, ha da great night and as i was leaving this man turned round and jumped back saying ‘OMG its gyspy rose lee’. I know its sounds like i am constantly in a bar lol but i am not honest. 
Some people are so insensitive ! I am so sorry you have had to put up with this ignorance from others. I am would be very wary of tax now thanks to you bringing up the problems you have had with your hair. The side effects of chemos are not communicated properly to any of us and it stinks. I have had my share of stupid prats about other bc related stuff.
Take care

Hi Rachy in the end as always it boils down to money.
Thats why the oncs dont tell pateints about it because they dont want women saying they dont want the drug. I think its the most expensive one so they obviously make more money out of it - this is why they keep silent and pretend never to of heard of this happening before. Of course they know about side effects. the more i delve into it the more common this side effect actually is.
