Thank you. I was honestly in shock for the first few hours after we got the diagnosis. The first time I cried wasn’t when I heard the word cancer, it was when I thought about her losing her hair. It’s been one of the hardest parts for her to come to terms with.

Since then she’s been trying on different scarves, wraps, and styles, and I think that’s helped her regain some sense of control over something that felt inevitable. She’s feeling much better about it now than she was a few weeks ago.

This is only week one, though, so we’re still very much at the beginning of the journey and haven’t experienced most of what treatment will bring yet.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the encouragement. Hearing from people who’ve already walked this road means a lot right now.
