This time last year I was receiving dose dense A/C, so I can sympathise. I can't add much to what's written here. I remember all I wanted to eat was melted cheese on wheat pita bread and ice cream. Bald can be very beautiful. It's great to hop out of the shower and only have to towel your head. Guys already know this. It's a revelation to some of use women. A/C is very difficult for some of us. My boss and I were diagnosed at the same time. She was very sick from the A/C for three days, then felt normal and went to a wedding and several parties during treatment. I had a more difficult time. One down, three to go for you. MJO
