Diagnosed with breast cancer & primary lung cancer: Next steps?

@bdurel, I'm sorry to read about your friend's daughter. It's hard to lose anyone, but right now I'm sure this news hits a little harder for you. Most of us that were diagnosed a while ago have experienced the death of at least one cancer-friend. It's never easy. And it's never fair that a parent should have to face the death of their child, no matter their age.
Each of our cancers are a bit different, and so are our bodies. Your 3A if specific to you. It sounds like you have an oncologist that is focused on your case, and on keeping things in perspective. How did today go? Did you maybe ask one of the nurses what they've seen with hair loss and if they have any other gentle shampoo recommendations?

@lls8000 Thank you so much for your reply. My nurse today said he didn’t know about shampoos but said taking biotin is good for hair. He also said my dose of chemo was going to be a little lower than what was ordered because there is a shortage so it has to be rationed. That was a little concerning. He also asked if I knew Carboplatin often caused tinnitus. I said yes and that I hope it doesn’t happen in my good ear. I also had dry run to set up radiation. Treatments start tomorrow. I’ve been a little worried because my little dog licked my leg after I got home. I hope I didn’t poison her. Then my husband who accompanied me today said he’d like us to use our tickets that expire month end to SoCal to see his kids & grandkids on 29th, 4 days after my next chemo infusion. I said not a good idea for me and suggested he go without me. Clueless.
