Well after almost 5 years started chemo yesterday. Seems like dejuv. I am on Abraxane has anyone been on this drug. So far it doesn't seem to be given me much side effects. Have to go weekly to get infusion. Does anyone know will I lose my hair? The onc nurse thinks maybe just thinning. Well will let you know how treatment is going and say prayers it will work for me.
love ya all

    I will be praying that the side affects are few and that it goes smoothly for you. I would think the oncology nurse could answer the hair issue. They were pretty informative for me. Best of luck to you

    Terry my prayers are with you, I am scheduled to have surgery July 18th. I am scheduled to have chemo afterwards, I am really trying my best to treat my cancer without chemo for fear of being scared.

    Hi nbritton,

    I know your fear have been there twice now. Trust me once you start the chemo you will see how strong you can be and it won't be so bad. This time believe it or not it seems to be better because of the new meds they can give you for the side effects. If you would like to talk to me please feel free to e mail me. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers and you and I will battle this together. Will be with you on the 18th in prayers. Please let me know how you are doing.

    ((((((Hugs))))))

    Terry
