It was horrible to lose my pretty hair. But once I was bald, that's what I was--I never wore wigs or head coverings and my hair came back the exact same color and texture as before (at first it was translucent and fine like a baby's hair, but that didn't last long!). And now I cannot imagine ever having long hair again and sometimes I even miss being bald, oddly enough. But that doesn't mean it's EASY. Also the BRCA tests that I did were simple blood tests. Waiting two weeks for the result was much worse that the test itself! I hope this is helpful...Katy Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524508177957058950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125354934408472049.post-88982786453400554592013-02-04T11:36:48.791-06:002013-02-04T11:36:48.791-06:00Thank you Katy!

My mom was thinking about whether your hair grows back straight instead of curly?(I showed her your pictures) She has a very similar hair to yours and are very sad to loose it pretty soon but she has accepted the fact.She was also told that it will be terrible to be bold. she would have to wear a hat during sleep becasue it will be cold and hats will fall off herhead because the skull is slippery and things like this. did you experience the same? Is there anything that helps to make it easier? IS your hair as strong as before? About testing whether the cancer is BRCA positive or not what do we need to do? Do they have to test her or us (my sister and I) or both? Does the test hurt? I am going to ask the doctor as well but it feels better to ask from someone who is not a doctor. Ok, no more questions for today:) Thanks again for replying! AI will follow your blog from now on and hope the best for yournin the future!micuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545997471258621944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125354934408472049.post-47577695742438782232013-02-03T20:38:45.078-06:002013-02-03T20:38:45.078-06:00Sure--I would be happy to help if I can.

My mom (age:52) had a surgery because they have found a tumor in her breast and the tumor that was cut out showed she has triple negative breast cancer. Unfortunately I couldn't find lots of "real-people" information about it in Hungarian and she barely speaks english so I am glad I have found your blog. I will start reading it from the beginning. It is very useful to finally read the truth about it because as you say there are so many false information everywhere and I really have no idea what to think...I just wondered if later on I could turn to you for some questions? I understand if you don't have time for this. It is just really hard to know what to believe. Your blog is real and I want to face reality...Thanks for sharing your journey! micumicuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545997471258621944noreply@blogger.com
