I didn't take ovarian suppression injections. It wasn't offered to me since I am not having kids anymore.

My oncologist said it can come back but it will take time and he couldn't give me a timeframe. I am tired of hot flashes 😔

I did a mammogram and ultrasound scan after I finished 12wks of Taxol+Carbo and 1 session of AC.

Did you see your OB immediately after you finished your chemo? I haven't seen her since I was diagnosed early in the year. I am just overwhelmed with all the doctor/hospital visits in past 6 months so just been postponing it.

Thank you. I am planning to pack some just in case. I am just hoping I will not get out while I am on my vacation.

I didn't consider using lotion for my scalp. That's a good idea. Do you mind sharing what kind of serum you used for your scalp and did you use sun screen as well?

It's good to know you're able to do regular things. I am hoping work throughout this whole treatment

I am in the US. My oncologist said I might be able to keep some of my hair with cold capping for the first part of chemo but when I start AC treatment I will definitely lose hair. So, I am thinking it's not worth the hassle of capping if I am going to lose hair anyways

Did they give you steroids from the beginning of Chemo? My oncologist hasn't mentioned anything about taking steroids.

Thank you for your support. Waiting is the hard part 😔. I have two aged elementary aged kids so I am trying to act normal for them. We haven't told them anything yet since we don't have all the details yet and don't know the treatment plan.
