Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Sharon are you just beginning your a/c? I am starting mine the 20th. I figured if you are just beginning also we need to keep in touch and see how it goes for both of us. Hopefully good!!!! I haven't ordered anything yet for the hair loss. I found some cute hats at walmart believe it or not!....lol I have a small head so it is hard for me to find anything that fits but the ones I found at walmart fit good,,,of course I was trying them on with a head full of hair also....lol I think I am going shopping for some headcovers Mon. or Tuesday to see what I can find.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Sharon, I hear you. It gets to a point where you have to live for the now, not the year from now or the 5 years from now! Good luck! I just can't afford to wait for the end of treatments to enjoy muself and do the things I want to do. Of course I am node negative and stage 2. That is why I don't understand the aggressive treatment that has been suggested.
