I have stage 2 breast cancer et and started chemo/immune therapy last week. I bit the bullet and shaved my hair off with my children 2 days later as couldn’t bare the thought of it coming out in clumps. It gave me control of the situation as felt like everything was out of my hands at this point. It actually was liberating like a new butterfly emerging. Love to all the survivors and anyone battling this right now 😢
Thank you for sharing your powerful experience💪💕! Your strength and resilience is beaming through, I can feel it! Sending so many positive vibes your way as you continue your fight💫💫!!!
Thanks For Sharing About to Start Chemo Next week & Trying to prepare for what's to come I have Stage 3 in my left Breast I just had a Port put in Early this morning Praying for us All Much Love & Blessings 🙏🥺😘
Sending so much love, and continued strength and resilience your way💕💪💫! I found the beginning to be so especially overwhelming and daunting. I hope everything went as well as it could have last week and you are feeling not too bad🙏🙏. Take care of yourself🫂. One step at a time helped me...
Thanks for sharing this video and the photos are very helpful . I have long silvery hair that took years to grow out and now I’m about to loose it once chemo starts and I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time with it ? Having one breast removed didn’t bother me as much I do plan on purchasing a wig much like my own hair but now that I see how good you looked bald 😀I will wear the wig outside of the house . I think like you I’ll start short ,maybe the Princess Di style ? thanks again
Hi there. I thank you sooo much for this video.i love you and you reached my ♥, you are brave and I look up to that. Thank you for everything I wanted to hear.i have stage 2 bladder cancer. The end of this month I start treatment chemotherapy, I cry so much that I can't cry anymore. You gave me so much strength at times like this, I have a lot of hair. And hearing you was very helpful. Thank you and God bless you. 😢
Hey! It's been awhile. I'm stage 3 and just got my port a few days ago. I have to get an echocardiogram and PET scan before chemo. I have ALOT of hair right now. But excited to chop it off. 🤗
Thank you so much for the update and saying hello 👋! Trying different styles was honestly so fun! It's a good way to put a positive spin on a challenging situation. Do you have a first "chop" style in mind?
Mine is falling out today two weeks after my first chemo. My husband is so supportive he said it’s ok if you cry, it’s very normal. He loves me no matter what. My stylist friend cut my long locks into a darling shag cut that looked so cute. My husband will buz my hair with a Wahl and a #2 as I heard it feels better and then use a sticky clothes roller.
For me no matter how much it was known that hair loss was coming, the moment still caught me off guard. Makes my heart do happy to hear your husband is so supportive. I wish you continued strength and resilience through the rest of your chemo💕💫💪
Im 3 wks into taxol and mine is starting to come out in clumps. I cut it from my hips to my shoulders before my infusions, but i might shave it soon. It is starting to hurt at the mid to back scalp area, like you said. Seeing you now gives me hope for regrowth after surgery. ❤
Hello dear friend Always great to see you Must be very hard to lose hair However,you have a beautiful face either way Love Lily She’s so cute Warm Hugs x
Hi! Always so wonderful to hear from you too:)! It was a very challenging experience, but also provided so much growth. Thank you for being here with me! Lol she is a sweetie isn't she, thank you! Hugs right back
I remember my shower experience too..also one day after second chemo...I tugged the rest out while crying my heart out. It was the reality of my cancer.
I am waiting to see if I need chemo. I might not but pretty I am likely to. I wonder how uncomfortable a wig will be. I want to keep my chemo to just close family. Chemo makes privacy hard. Is it better to keep cancer private or just come out with it?
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I will be beginning chemo in about 2wks. I wanted to know what to expect concerning hairloss and your story is helping me so much. I'm impressed by your "realness" and honesty in relating your feelings. You are indeed a beautiful person, and so is your puppy! God bless you.
Thank you so much Denise🙏💕! I was really curious about the hairless process too. I'm glad this helped you feel more in the know:). Thinking of you as you prepare for chemo. You can do it!
I lost my hair 2 wks after 1st chemo before my 2nd from taxol due to ovarian cancer abit then got thinned then still out so i shaved it recent is very difficuilt
My hair lasted until the third week of chemotherapy. I was detangling my hair in the shower and it came out. Every time I went to touch my hair, it kept falling out in clumps. I was mortified, so I bought a wig and shaved it all. I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror right now. I wish I had your perspective, because I don't see myself in the mirror anymore.
I'm so sorry, that is such a dreadful moment that I wish on no one😩. I hope that you've been able to find a wig that makes you feel like the queen you are💪🌷!!
Rewatched this as I’m getting weekly Paclitaxal & wanted to get your timeline again. Had that moment of “oh boy, it’s starting” yesterday. Just one day shy of 2 weeks & my 3rd Taxal. Next week is the start of my 2nd cycle, 3 drugs, Pembro, Taxal & Carbo, followed by weekly Taxal. I’ve still wear my hair long & debating of getting it cut short before I decide it’s time to shave it off, even if that’s in a few weeks.
I hope that your chemo yesterday went well🙏, one more down👊! It's so hard to know what do to with your hair as it begins to thin. I did have fun with trying different styles as I went shorter, but that process isn't for everyone. Do what feels right to you❤. Sending love
@@suzymoon2067 I did opt for a short haircut to transition while it thinned to being bald. It’s thinning so fast I’m not going to bother to shave it, just let it continue to fall out. Most days I wear my chemo caps & now have a wig as an option too.
I'm about to start 12 wks of taxol and herceptin for breast cancer stage 1a and grade 2, surgeon got it all out and lymph nodes are cancer free. So, I have 3 hats and a wig but haven't had my head shaved yet. The whole thing is like I'm standing outside a window looking in & seeing how my life has changed and have no control over it. Thank the good Lord, I have Him because I'd be lost without Him.
@@elizabethjanitsch7586 I'm so so happy to hear that surgery went well and all your nodes are cancer free!!! I totally understand what you are talking about with your explanation of standing outside a window looking at your life. Even now years later, I often can't believe that I had cancer. You aren't alone. Sending you so much continued strength, resilience and love as you continue your fight. You've got this
