This body totally deconstruct on me all in one nano second.
No hair, no boobs, nothing. Just want to disolve it to make it go away.

Oh MI I feel your pain, yes things change in a nano second, Bc ravages the body in a way that brings even the strongest to their knees. Hang in there, your hair will regrow and a breast reconstruction may be possible and you will again feel like a woman. My heart goes out to you.
Stay strong. Best wishes Lola. xx

If i got through this then so shall you. Let that chemo kill any of those crazy little cancer cells floating around. Try to take a walk every day, even if its cold. It will help your spirits. Maybe not during a hirricane
My boobs grew back, my hair has returned. I cried and cried last year this time. You can do this.and quit thinking you are freak! Your a woman facing FBC. Being stage three they will throw everything at you. And when its finished and you start feeling better you will hit the gym or run or whatever. But exercize cuts the chance of reaccurance a lot. Cant remember percentages. This will pass -
Blah! I remember those days very well. Sorry you are having a bitch of a day. For me the hair loss was ok, the boob loss was doable, but I freaked when I realized I didn't have any eye lashes or brows either. Weird how it is often the little things that get to you.
Now I have hair again
Unlike Fredntan, my boobs did not grow back. My surgeon wants me to wait 2 years for recon, but I have a feeling it may end up being much longer like that. Like forever. I feel completely female all the same, just a bit dented
A Porsche is still a Porsche even if its bumper falls off, right?

I feel for you. I wish I could make it all go away every day. It completely, totally, and royally SUCKS.
But woman, you are a warrior. And you are strong enough to get through this. You hair will come back. Your eyebrows and eyelashes will come back. Your confidence will come back. I suspect we will always mourn a little bit, but if we come out of this, we come out of it fighting strong. And THAT is beautiful.

I laugh at myself when I look back and remember how I was still putting on mascara every morning......even though I only had a few single eyelashes left, I held on to every last one until the end
Now I cannot even remember the transition from bald with no eyebrows and eyelashes to hair again, You too will be there before you know it, so hang in there, this is the rough spot
