Hi, thanks for your reply. I have lined up my hairdresser, who I count as a friend as I've been going to her for many years now, to come and cut my hair even shorter. I have always had very long hair until this - had to have it cut fairly short to try the cooling cap so think shaving is the next step now I'm not going to continue with that. Like everything that's happened, it's scary imagining myself with no hair but I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be and I have adjusted to the changes so far. Like you said, our lives are the most important thing in this picture. Good luck with your chemo, sooner it starts the sooner it's finished xx
