Welcome @sheenah. I admire your outlook and applaud you for seeking information. For many people knowledge is power. I, too, like to hear from other people about their experience in addition to reading the information given out by the medical team. You can get many tips on how to prepare, what is normal and find people who just "get it". Keep in mind, of course, everyone is different. Even another woman with the same type of breast cancer getting the same chemo combination may react differently than you will.

Let me start by introducing you to a few members. Please meet @luladavis @martid @brandysands @tinalove @leemiller @cautiousoptimism @kathleensunshineobrien @trainwreck54 @sailtown @jomama @fundytide. There are many more. Have you seen the discussions on the Breast Cancer group? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/breast-cancer/?tab=discussions

What type of chemotherapy will you be getting @sheenah?

Hello Colleen!
Thank you for responding and for introducing me to others on the group. I have always been an optimistic person, and this situation warrants no exception. I will be starting With Adriamycon & Cytoxan followed by Taxotere, Herceptin & Perjeta. I already have 1 wig & am getting. Another made, just being as proactive as I can be. I will check out the breast cancer group also. I really appreciate the info.
