Hi Sonia
i am so sorry you are finding yourself in this “club”.
Lets hope you will not need chemo! Also if you do, pls discuss ovaries preservation(medically induced menopause is truly bad) . I also recommend a cold cap to preserve your hair- it does not work for everyone, but for some it works great and it always helps with re-growth of your hair.And the last , but not the least, do take one day at the time- some people do not do too bad with chemo, especially with all the meds these days.
please be kind to yourself .
xx
