Thanks for responding ladies. My sis made me laugh when she told me she is shampooing and using cream rinse...just because she can! I will see her today for the first time in about a month and I'm anxious to see her new hair!

Do any of you who had six weeks of radiation have an tips for her about managing that? It's still a ways in the future, but I'll be starting to delve about it to prep mentally. There was some chance that she could do a week of radiation, twice a day, instead of the more conventional six weeks. Her surgeon was advocating that, but her oncologist likes the traditional better because there is more data on it's efficacy.

Thanks again for reading and being so willing to share with us. You are all Godsends!
