Hello
I am about to start chemo alongside herceptin . I am having paclitaxel once a week 12 weeks and herceptin injections every 3 weeks . Has anyone had this regime and any positive advice ( loosing hair side effects etc )
I know it will be hard but any advice would be helpful.
many thanks in advance.
Hi Rosie 28
Sorry to hear this but I have found the anticipation of the treatment to be worse than the actual treatment.
my advice is choose you wig before any hair loss as it is the best way to getting it as near as possible to your own. My treatment was through the winter so woolly hats were my go to.
The time soon passes and - although it doesn’t seem that way at the time it is certainly doable even at my age I am 76 and live alone. My daughter has been a wonderful support.
i am now post chemo and surgery and had my 10th injection last week 8 more to go 
Try to keep your mind occupied online jigsaws. Rubbish afternoon TV, talking to friends whatever keeps you from worrying.
Wishing you well Xxx
