Members with ROS1-positive lung cancer mutations shared their experiences with targeted TKI therapies, with one member describing success on Rozlytrek after Xalkori caused liver issues, while another noted that Entrectinib has been effective despite persistent side effects like tingling and balance problems. Several members opened up about the profound isolation and loneliness that comes with cancer, feeling distanced from family and friends who seem afraid or uncomfortable, with many finding connection and support through online communities. A recurring theme was reclaiming small joys and normalcy, whether through brief social outings, embracing baldness with humor and style, or simply having others listen without judgment.

I've just been rocking some headwraps i got off Amazon. Need to play with my wigs so I get the hang of them.

I could have made a wig out of mine but didn't and someone said to donate it but that didn't seem on my mind at the time.

I haven't seen or heard from many of mine for years either. Got lots of other people to occupy my time lol. It does indeed save on shampoo and the dog shaver came in handy when it had to go. Looks better bald than patchy and coming out in clumps.
