I have a feeling the easy bit is over

Like you the thought of losing my hair wasmost traumatic.  And I was never a "hair person" never had treatments, never bought expensive shampoos, kept it short and easy to manage all of a sudden it was my prized possession.  But truely it was because once I lost my hair it was evident to the world I had cancer and was having chemo. Acknowledgement of diagnosis by others before I had accepted it was my fear.  

I took the advice and had a buzz cut prior to chemo.  My son actually cut my hair with me crying thoughtout, but bless him he kept going with beautiful words of encouragement, and humour.  And it was empowering not straight away but over the next few days, it allowed not only myself but the family to adjust to the new look.  And when the hair fell out it was only fine bristles in the shower plug.  

I now wear hats and scarves, I do own a wig but at the moment find it to uncomfortable as find it keeps the heat in and I feel I overheat easily, I tend to wear light caps.  But as others find the fun in styling, and remember this fashion trend is only a brief one.
