Just found out today that l will need 6 sessions of chemotherapy at 3 week intervals . I feel so sad at the thought of losing my hair . I have managed the lumpectomy well and l am surprised how badly the hair loss thing has hit me. Where do l buy hats and wigs and scarves when the shops are all shut and l can not even try anything on
Hi and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community but sorry that you needed to find us and I am especially sorry to hear about your BC diagnosis.
Although I had a different type of cancer a cancer diagnosis brings many questions, lots of confusion and stress but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey will help you navigate this rollercoaster.

Wobbles are normal in the early days of a cancer diagnosis but you have got this. Do connect in with the Breast Cancer Group as there is nothing better than talking with people who have walked the walk.
