First diagnosis I started with stage 4 metastasized to the bone. Started with 10 rounds of chemo and firmagon. Yes the chemo is rough to go through but for me the sides are all the same. You can do this. As for my hair, started falling out with treatment, I shaved it off,,year later its all back, small price to pay. I like to laugh so during treatment I wore shirts, Chemo, breakfast of Champions, My Oncologist does my hair, to make me smile. When I finished last treatment, Dr said I was done,,, for now. If down the road I have to do again, so be it. Much better then the alternative. For me with so much focus on fighting the side effects, I don't really focus on the fact I have cancer. Hope this makes sense. I wish you the best on this journey. Best to all.
