Well today is the day I go and get my head shaved...I am only a week past my first treatment but the nurses in the unit suggested I get it done early so lunch time today and I too will be a bald eagle...and no doubt my partner will join in on the name calling...I think that is his way of dealing with things...I don't mind...whatever gets him through really...
I agree wigs are too hot at the moment so I ordered some bandanas from 'the hat show' online...they just arrived yesterday (good timing) and I bought some colourful, cool scarves from the local op shops. My daughters are excited that when they get home from school mummy will be bald...my eldest is more excited cause she gets too use my good shampoo and conditioner lol...
I found that most of the medical team weren't concerned about telling me that I'm going to lose my hair it was explaining to me that it would grow back curly bahahahahahaha....like that was the worst thing in the world...maybe because my hair is blond and straight they thought I would freak out...I'm looking at it as a new me...improved...cancer free
Good luck to everyone
