I'm glad that you...That is good news and bad news. I'm glad that you like your dr. that is very important. Again, welcome to being a woman. Menopause is great (see me rolling my eyes). I'm glad to hear that you won't have that much chemo (poison) in your body. They have great anti-nausea drugs and they really do work! Hopefully you won't be that sick at all! I will keep my fingers crossed. As for your hair, you can guess that it will start to fall out 14-17 days after your first treatment. It won't just all fall out at the same time, but it will start to fall out. I like your plan of getting it short now and slowly adjusting to a new hair do! Just think, it won't last for forever, it really does grow back, and you will be amazed at how beautiful you really will look without hair. I can honestly say that I've never seen a picture of you, but to me you will always be beautiful with or without hair.<BR/><BR/>As for the genetic testing, it's relatively easy (a blood test) and I think that it's a great idea for you and your family. It is just another hurdle to jump over, but you will make it over. It's hard because it's your babies that you are talking about that it could effect, but you will need/want to know!<BR/><BR/>Know that you are always in my mind every day.<BR/><BR/>Lots of love to you!<BR/>TanaTana Atkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775761167645888364noreply@blogger.com
