Thank you for this. For Mom, we talked about it a lot, & I told her I would get her some cute caps if needed. She had some hair loss which was not noticeable to others but it stopped & her hair became even thicker, wavy, and darkened. She was on targeted chemo tablets which were not stopped.
It took me about a week or so to get my hair cut after it started coming out. I already had a short pixie hair cut but getting it shaved off was still a shock. But it was also the start of a very hot summer in central Texas. I mostly wore a basbeball cap (at work) along with other headcoverings. 6 months later, it's mostly grown back but still waiting for my bangs to fill in. I've had a couple of nech and ear trims to get back to my my pre-chemo hairstyle.
Oh no, I am 48 and have like 10 gray hairs. I don't want it to turn gray. Oh, it's awful. It's amazing how upsetting this is. It's good I have time to accept this possiblity.
Hi Liz, I've just discovered you and have subscribed. Catching up on all your videos. I discovered a lump in my breast at 56 yo, now 58, ER+ PR+, grade 3, no lymph node involvement, and have had surgery x 2, chemo, radio and am now on Letrozole, one year in, for five years. Is there any link between decreased oestrogen in your body and mental health issues, ie depression, dementia? I was diagnosed with chronic depression over 35 years ago and was prescribed antidepressants which I took for 30 years but have since weaned myself off. However, I find myself feeling worse since I started taking Letrozole. Also, I live in Australia and would appreciate you also referring to any info you find related to down under 🙃It's so good to hear from someone who is a breast surgeon and has had breast cancer themselves, so you have a "lived" experience and know what we are all going through as you are going through the same. Bless you. Thank you for all that you do🙏 xox
Thank you for this podcast. It was a great listen and so much useful information. I also found it heartening and uplifting (my hair has just started re-growing!) - thank you

I had it cut in three stages, the emotional toll was much worse than the surgery, because chemo was unexpected.
Thank you so very much. This was so helpful.
A really excellent video, 👏 😊

Cold capping in BC Canada cost over 400 per chemo session. It is not covered by medicare. So if you don't have the means, it sucks to be you.
