@CathyMac @Shellshocked2018_ I know this is hard to believe at this point, but most of us adjust quite quickly to having no hair. It's an interesting experience, and once you get over the shock, it's really not that bad. The worst bit is when it starts coming away in great hanks. That is quite distressing, and the mess is ferocious. Once you take it all off, it's suddenly much easier. The hardest bit is adjusting to the looks you get as you now look 'sick'. But as the others have said, you can get round this with hats & wigs if you really want to. Having no hair can lead to great kindness, generosity and the good ol' cancer discount that pops up every now and then!
