Questions about breast cancer?

My aunt was just diagnosed with this disease, and her daughter (my cousin) is having her wedding in January. Any facts or thoughts on this would be appreciated. How long will her hair be gone, will she be in bed long.... Thanks. Sorry to hear the, uncle billy. Anyways, I'm not worried about how she looks. Her daughter was looking at it all and making sure it was perfect, and I thought she might have imagined it different. I'm sorry if I come off like a snob, oh wait, that's you. Excuse me for being worried about the welfare of my aunt. Not to mention she doesn't even live in the US. She lives in NZ, and she has always had short hair. I think she is beautiful anyways, hair or not. The whole point is tht I haven't seen her in 3 years and I'm going down to see her in Jan. 07, and I thought she would be a bit shy about it, since she was that type. Stop being such a b*tch, I asked a question about her, not how she looked. I'm worried about her and I'm sorry you think that way. Oh, no, wait, I not sorry.

1. My mom never lost her hair, she had the double mastectomy followed by light chemo and was good to go. It varies from person to person I guess.
2. she will only lose her hair if she is undergoing chemo, and if this is , yes she will be pretty sick for awhile.
3. You must mean from chemotherapy. Because that's how you lose your hair/not the cancer. Basically everyone reacts differently to chemo. So it just depends on when she is going to start her treatment. Other than that......it sounds like your more concerned with how she will look at a wedding rather than if you can support her.
4. it depends how advanced the cancer is, she will only lose her hair from chemotherapy but that's a small problem compared with the surgery, recovery, & other side effects of the chemo. if the cancer has progressed into the lymph nodes she has a fight on her hands, love her & support her all you can, she can wear a nice wig to the wedding.
5. Depending on what Stage your aunt is, she can skip the chemo and radiation. That stuff poisons women and makes them even sicker!!
   
   Do some research about breast cancer and natural progesterone. A good place to start is Dr. Lee's site at http://www.johnleemd.com.
   
   There is research indicating that 80% of breast cancers are estrogen driven, and can be cured just by supplementing with natural progesterone.
