Hi Everybody Everything has happened so quicky. On Monday I am having an operation to put a clip in my right breast so they can moniot the tumor and they will remove some lymph nodes. Then on Tuesday my chemo starts. I had a chest portal fitted 2 days ago need to remove the dressing tonight and wash and re dress.
If I am feeling up to it does anyone know if I can donate my hair after the first chemo? My consultant has told me it won't start falling out till the second treatment.
Happy New Year and best wishes to you all.

Hi Bibi4
This is the website for the Little Princess Trust https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-hair , there are certain conditions that your hair needs to meet. I don’t think it would make any difference that you have had chemo, but do bear in mind your scalp may become really sensitive and sore so the soonest after your first chemo will probably be easier for you ?
