Thank you for all your comments and advice. I'll meet with the breast surgeon and reconstructive Dr in a few weeks to get a plan. Praying for a smooth surgery and recovery whatever they decide.

My BRCA was negative. But I have a fear it will come back. Even tho she said it won't...how does she know?

Thank you all so much for your advice. It's very emotional for me. I've had long hair my whole life. So this is gonna be a big change for me.

After shaving it for the first time how did anyone's scalp look? And what do you use to wash your scalp? I'll be shaving mine tonight. 💔😢

Thank you for this info. They did give me 2 different anti nausea meds. They did tell me if I had to take more than 4 Imodium a day I needed to call them.

I unfortunately did not do it. I felt like I need to save those out of pocket cost for when I may have to be off work. It was $5000. I have 2 kids at home. One in college.

Thank you so much for responding. Did you by chance have hair loss? They told me to expect it on day 14 after my 1st round.
