Ok, I know it's only been 3 days since my bi-lateral. It's only been 4 weeks since my last chemo, so I still have no hair, it is just starting to come back. My feelings are on a huge roller coaster. Sometimes I feel so ugly, other times I feel like I am beautiful no matter what. I have a great husband who tries so hard to take care of me but of course he feels helpless sometimes. My kids are great, they try to keep me smiling. Sometimes it gets so hard to keep your head up and know that I will get through this. I just wish I could skip a month or two and get my life back to somewhat being normal:)

DonnaNormal is a road .. that sometimes is hard .. hair does grow very fast once it starts coming back .. I have 6 mths of growth .. after 2mths when I stopped my hard core chemo I had a desent amount of hair .. I still receive treatments but it is with Herceptin and it more of preventive for my cancer Her2 pos. My hair is different then it was prior to this BC .. it's very thick and curly .. came in very grey .. so alittle help from a bottle of dye helps me feel better .. I am also bilateral with no reconstruction .. but, I don't know what to tell you about when the feeling of being on a roller coaster slows down or we become normal in our own minds .. I started my journey Oct. 2006 .. and I haven't found normal yet .. easier YES .. but, for myself I'm not the person I use to be .. I am always worrying .. and I do take anti-depressants .. we are all different and I guess we all heal in our own way and our own time .. Just know that you are not alone and you are a SURVIVOR! We are all SURVIVORS! May God Bless you and your family always .. STAY STRONG ... Love and Support, Donna
Love and support...I say the same thing everyday! Its been 6 months since I started this BC mess, and everyday I am thankful I am still here, and have a wonderful supportive family. Slowly the hair comes back and I can recognize myself in the mirror. You will feel better everyday, and realize you beat cancer and are a survivor. Love and support...
