I know I am being vain, but I have had a head full of hair my whole life and it scares me to see myself bald. Plus, being deadly sick through it all. I have friends who went through it and they said how terrible it was for them, but they had larger tumors or far advanced stages than me and didn't have an option. I know I am going to do whatever gives me the best outcome ad I have seen best friend suffer and die from breast cancer. I just want to get some perspective from others who have gone through it. Thanks so much for your response.

You can choose the "cold cap" treatment before each chemo session. It seems pretty effective in preventing hair loss. I didn't bother - just wore a cap when I went out. My hair grew back pretty much the same as before. I didn't feel sick. Had a bit of mild "chemo rash". Main problem was fatigue.
