@sanantoniomimi, in addition to the great tips you've received from members, you may also be interested in this list of discussions related to hair loss and breast cancer:
- Hair loss https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/breast-cancer/?search=hair%20loss&index=discussions
I found these by going to the Breast Cancer support group main page https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/breast-cancer/ and entering search term in the search bar.
I can see that you have a full plate. I wonder if this might be helpful for you:
- Stress Management for Cancer: Free online course from Mayo Clinic
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/stress-management-for-cancer-free-online-course-from-mayo/
I don't want it to be a burden or obligation as your plate is full, but want you to know that it's there for you.
As you continue your journey, you will find many helpful discussions and members ready to share their experiences.

I had a lumpectomy in Jan 2021, followed by radiation and then started tamoxifen. It was effecting my liver, so I was switched to Exemestane.
I had a hysterectomy in 1990. The pathologist found uterine cancer starting in the lining of my uterus. No treatment was required. In 2001, I had surgery for diverticulitis, where cancer was found underneath. I had radiation and chem and was pronounced “Cancer free” in 2006.
Fast forward to Dec of 2020, cancer was discovered when I had my mammogram. Surgery was in Jan. 2021.
I have never suffered any side effects during treatments so to suddenly see my hair getting thin and losing most of it in several months has been a shock and adjustment. I am down to a very short amount, that seems to get shorter and shorter each week.
I will certainly seek out the site you suggested for stress.
Thank you very much for your response.
