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.

    It does all seem to happen in a blur at the start. I wouldn’t have thought it mattered much after just one chemo. I donated mine just before my first, but my hair didn’t start to fall out until after the second. I sent mine to the Little Princess Trust. You could always ask them what they think.
