Hi there Iwouldlike2knowmore

Thank you for your post. I can see you’ve only had one reply, and I’m wondering if this is because the MyOvacome forum focusses on supporting anyone affected by ovarian cancer. Your post speaks of ‘MBC’ and if you’re referring to 'metastatic breast cancer', I hope that you may find more responses to your question in the following forums:

- healthunlocked.com/share-me...

- community.breastcancer.org/

- forum.breastcancernow.org/?...

Please do let us know if I have misunderstood your post? I hope you're able to connect with others in similar circumstances soon.

Best wishes

Annie

You've done well then l lost every hair on my body after the first session just before my second chemo. Although l was told, l didnt expect to lose my hair so quickly but within 3 months of stopping l had a lovely curly head of hair it was white but everyone loved it. Sorry l started colouring it again . So its very short lived the loss of your hair hopefully. Which type of cancer do you have mines ovarian. Sending love& hugs Sheila xxx
