Hair cut

Told my hair WILL fall out day 16 - tomorrow!! So... Wednesday was day 13 after chemo 1 and  I took my wig to my hairdresser who has followed my life's journeys for 15 years. She cut my hair all off to a short hair cut, then a punk style and then all crew cut! My girlfriend brought the champagne and we had a few laughs. I was ready to have it off as it felt lifeless and was thinning onto my bathroom floor - but not obvious so much to others.

When I arrived home my two daughters, partners and kids were waiting for me - WEARING WIGS! It was so funny.

It has been interesting having an almost bald head but a shadow of my hair still. I thought I'd only want to wear the wig to feel normal. But I very quickly found a couple of scarves I feel comfortable wearing and a 'bamboo' cap.
