Hey Jess
I did a really very naughty thing when my prickles on my head were driving me crazy and I used a normal razor shaver on my head. It helped very much but I am not suggesting your mum do this.
Do you have a good/nice barber in the area that would be able to do this for your mum. How do bald guys go about getting there head as smooth as a babies bottom I wonder? I would suggest your local barber for some help.
I had a number 3 done and it just wasn't enough to get rid of the stubble so I went to extreme lengths to get rid of mine. We are told not to do this in case you cut yourself and then there is the chance of infection.
I am so sorry to hear your mum is struggling with the chemo and no taste buds because that is a tough one to deal with. I know there is lots of posts on here about things dealing with all the side effects of chemo so maybe they might give you some suggestions.
This is a great site for getting heaps of info to help your mum.
In regards to the males that are trying to deal with your mums journey, try and remember they are males so live on a different planet to us hee hee. They try to deal with it the only way they know how and for us ladies that is not always quite how we would like them to. I do know from my own experience that it is tough for the person going through BC but it is just as tough if not tougher for the people who have to watch her go through it as you know from your own experience. I am sure her partner is dealing with a tough situation the best way he knows how. BC can either make a relationship stronger or tear it apart so I hope it works out okay for your mum and she can talk with her partner and tell him how she is feeling.
Hope you have luck with finding a good barber.
Wishing your mum some better feeling days and less yukky ones and sending you the strength to help her get through them. Stay strong for your mum kiddo. You are a good daughter.
LOL, Mich xoxo
