hair loss
The hair loss is a big issue for me too. I have surgery tomorrow with chemo to start in about 3 weeks and was told that I will lose my hair. I had waist lentgh hair which i cut to shoulder length after my diagnosis, and have gotten it cut even shorter since. I think going progressively shorter is really helping me, and my family, cope with the inevtiable. I did get a couple of wigs from a cancer center in my town, but in all honestly I don't know if I'll wear them much. I've been collecting really cute hats & scarves and have some bandanas. It is hard for us women when faced with losing our hair. Initially, being told I had to have chemo was as hard on me as my diagnosis was. Good luck with your treatments & I'll be right there with you
