Hi all Started treatment this week, herceptin on Wednesday and first Paclitaxel yesterday, so far so good. The only difference I've felt so far is tired from the antihistamine. I will be having a picc line fitted next week as I've got 12 weekly sessions and only 1 arm to use with fairly small veins. I thought long and hard about cold capping, I have long dark hair halfway down my back and tbh I do rather like it 😊 . After reading lots of stories from others I've decided not to do it, I think a combination of all the different treatments I'll be having will cause thinning so I'm gonna go bald and brave 🏋️ ♀️ 😁 (I shall be having some fun with wigs though, as many colours and styles as my bank account will allow 😁 💃 ) I really love the idea of donating my hair to the little Princes trust, it makes me feel better to know I could maybe help a girl who is struggling with hair loss..it's difficult to contemplate at the age of 49, I can't begin to think how tough it must be for teenagers and young women. I've started reading a brilliant book for anyone who is interested it's called the "Biology of Belief" by Bruce H Lipton, I've found it massively empowering. Great to read posts from other ladies going through similar experiences..I'll.keep sharing mine❤ 😘 xxx
