A giant leap for Susankind

Last night I finally let my husband see my head. He is the only other living person on the face of the planet who has seen it. My hair fell out shortly after my second dose of AC after I spent a week clinging stubbornly on to it. In the end I waited until the boys had left for their day's commitments then got into the shower and washed my hair and... Read more Chevron

Next steps...

I have just returned from the breast surgeon with a mix of good news and not so good news. I was expecting some good news. My reading and research has suggested that the type of cancer I have (ER/PR negative, Her2 positive), while aggressive, is very chemosensitive.
