In reply to the discussion: Got results back from my PET Scan yesterday, not good [View all]babylonsister
(172,751 posts)15. The 'good' news is
you've identified what you have to do to attack this.
My sister had stage 4 breast cancer and got zapped with radiation and chemo, which required insertion of a port to more easily administer the chemo. And yes, she lost all of her hair but Amazon has an amazing array of hats, caps, etc., that will help with keeping your head warm. She loved them.
She is also now cancer-free, so hang in there and know you have lots of support here, as most of us know people who have had cancer and will be very encouraging as you fight through this.
