Hang in there.  As many have stated, the sx are different for many of us.  Just be prepared for the unknown.  The physical changes are tough but they are for the most part, only temporary. You mentioned your hair.  I am one of the unlucky ones that really lost a lot of hair.  Not only thinning hair, but since week 15, I have 3 quarter sized bald spots on the back of my head. (I own a lot of head "dressing" lol)  This is my 3rd tx, and each time I lost hair the same way, and both times before, my hair came back much thicker and healthier, so I am confident that this will be the same this time.   Re: the "needle" thing.  It is not a pleasant thing to do, but it will get easier.  Anxiety can really be a road block on our path, keep the faith.

This is a 2004 thread so you probably won't get an answer from showboat. If you look at the person's name at the top, it says when they posted... for future reference.

tx=treatment
sx= symptoms
dx= diagnosis
bx= biopsy

If you want to post a question, just go to the top of the page, return to the forum, and there is a green button that says "Post a question" Click that and write your question an then click "post comment".
