Hi Ne! Wow. I love the curls!
I have my first chemo tomorrow. I have always had really straight long fine red hair. I hated it straight as it never had any body, just hung limp. In my 20s I used to get it spiral permed so that I had long ringlets half way to my waist. Think Nicole Kidman in her early days. The perm back then would take over 6 hours to put in and cost $600. I have had it straight and long for the last 20 years but do miss those expensive curls.
I find it funny that my friends with curly hair spend a lot of time straightening it and then I and others with straight hair want curls.
Here's hoping that mine will grow back curly after chemo. I am a bit worried because I had Alopecia on about a quarter of my head immediately after the birth of my youngest son 16 yrs ago. And so while I have been through hair loss before and know a little of what to expect I am hoping that having this history doesn't mean that chemo will trigger permanent hair loss. My dermatologist told me that Alopecia frequently comes back. I've been lucky to dodge a recurrence to date. Fingers crossed all will be well.
Take care
Nadine
