Hello all,    I've recently been diagnosed with Cancer and am about to start a rather rigorous cycle of Chemo due to the type of cancer they found.  My question is so superficial that I'm embarassed to even ask it but I figure, if not here, where...so please forgive me and here goes... I just wondered what you did (if anything) with loss of eyebrows and eyelashes. I mean, can you go to beauticians to get them or do you have to wait until chemo is finished? I've always had long dark eyelashes so I have no idea how false ones work, do you have to have eyelashes to begin with?  Sorry again but would love to hear any suggestions. I'm in Sydney. love Sue ... View more

Hello everyone,  I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, early stages only and all cut out (2 surgeries, lumpectomy) with nothing moved to lymph node. However, due to type of cancer the medico's are telling me I need chemo plus radio plus pill.  I wanted to post here to hear anyone's views about looking at alternative treatment rather than the chemo? It's just such an invasive procedure, and, in my case, its for risk prevention so I'm wondering if others would look at an alternative before embarking on putting poison into every single cell in their body? Would love to hear your comments, happy to receive criticism as well! Cheers Sue ... View more
