Just diagnosed at 39 - any advice greatly welcome!

I will get herceptin, parjeta, docetaxel and carboplatin. Just read in cap Cooling and I think I will give it a go. I did cut my hair slightly shorter last week so it is easier to brush. Please share the turban hat company, I would like to have a look. X 

Yes I cut my hair shorter too when I started chemo. I have heard the cold caps do work, you are in there a little longer but they do work. 
I figured that I have bleached my hair so much over the years this is a good chance to get fresh new hair  

so I have got hats from Maryjane Claverol - the ones I have bought are the ones made of towel cloth but she does some really cool ones with beads and sequins. They’re expensive but I thought I’ll be wearing them every day and won’t have any trips to the hairdressers for a long time! X

Also I noticed last week that turban hats are in fashion and Missoni also now have a big range

Hi. I cold capped and lost all my hair. It was when the hairdressers were closes as well. Spent hours cutting the tats out then shaved it.

Good luck with your treatment. Chemo is very doable. I cold capped but lost all my hair unfortunately. However I have persevered with it as despite what you read it really isnt that bad. Xx

Thank you for your tips. I think it will hit me next week when I get my first treatment. I have accepted what happened to me, I had my denial phase and crying. Now I just want to start it. Xx

I stopped colouring my hair years ago as I had no idea what I wanted and it worked so far, my natural mousy colour. I think I will treat myself to a hat like you. You wanna feel nice, despite. Xx

I think that’s very normal. My world fell apart when I was diagnosed, I cried my eyes out when the doctor told me and due to covid like everyone else I was on my own. I was also terrified waiting for all the scan results in case they found something else. Now that I know what I’m dealing with and I understand the process I feel ok. I could not wait to start the chemo and now I just want to get to the surgery xx

It is just a mood rollercoaster! An abstraction or matrix! But I m calm. One step at the time. Thank you end for your help. I still got echo next week and covid test and ready to go! Xx

I hope it goes well abs you don’t feel too bad on it. Feel free to keep chatting. I have found it really helpful talking to people who have been through this and have reached the other side and there are a LOT of people who have been through this process and are ok xx
