@margot69- Yes, hair loss is a big thing with women. Had you been told that you might lose it with this chemo? All the ifs I think are catching up with you. I think that you have to ask yourself if it's worth it. Or if your were to find out that a close friend had your cancer, what would you say if they were given a year? Between now and then there could be a new treatment or new medicine or even a cure found. Do you want to stick around for that? Do you have goals that you want to achieve this year? What had been your plans before you found out that you had cancer?

Thank you, Merry. You are a world of knowledge and support. I actually joined a Chemo Support group on FB and everyone shares knowledge and experience. I did get a wig a couple of weeks ago and ordered a couple of the Chemo caps, which look horrible on me! Guess I can wear them around the house. I need more poof. Have read it is better to buzz your head rather then shave it. Yes, this is very hard as I am one that curls and styles my hair every day. Now, I haven't washed it for a week. I guess, since I have not been given many options for treatment, this almost seems futile but I do not want to die any time soon. I would talk to Wakekee before I make any decisions. Was thinking of maybe going to Scripps but, again, would be difficult and I hate to be far from home. Will see what he says this morning.
