My oncologist actually recommended it for me and at first I wasn’t going to do it because it sounded scary and difficult and painful. And it was difficult and it was painful and it was, it’s hard, but I was able to keep my hair. And it was one thing that I could control out of everything else that was completely out of control. It also helped me so I didn’t look sick to myself. I lost every bit of my body hair within 10 days of my first chemotherapy, but I only lost parts of my hair and thinning.”
Two years later, this is what my hair looks like. And it also was really helpful for my children who were terrified of me going bald and then dying as had happened to a friend of mine just the year before. So I highly encourage anyone out there, if you can, ask about it, see if it’s an option for you and if it is, it just might just might really work for you like it did for me.”

About Learn Look Locate:
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
