My hair never did fall out completely so Gordon helped me shave the remnants last night and I now have a beautiful smooth head - no more jaggy stubble - hurray !!
My eyelashes and eyebrows have only thinned a bit and not fallen out so I can cope with that but it did give me a good excuse to spend lots of money on posh makeup today - which cheered me up no end.
My next appointment at hospital is for a "simulator" which - despite sounding like something I would refuse to go at Alton Towers theme park - I'm assured has something to do with lining up the radiotherapy beams and ... wait for it ... tatoos !
So - four weeks of radiotherapy and four sessions of taxotere and then I'm done (a year of herceptin excluded of course)! Roll on - doesn't time fly when you're having fun !!!

yeah, I'm counting down now too and damned glad to be done with AC. 3 more sessions of taxol and then I'm done (oops, except, like you, a year of herceptin...but, who's counting?)
Hang in there, glad FEC didn't treat you badly.
Just think, there really is light at the end of the tunnel...

Marjory,
Hello from Florida. I did not have Taxol but wanted to share that radiation was a breeze for me compared to chemo. And I never felt a thing from Herceptin. Best wishes on your continued journey -- which will be over before you know it. Really!

Glad you hear you have finished your chemo. I have had one FEC100 treatment (5 more to go) and I hope I come through it as well as you have. I have only had tiredness and a bit nauseous the first few days.
