Hair loss

I’m wearing a cool cap during chemo and have been quite fixated on checking the hair on my head. Perhaps that’s why I got quite a surprise to find I’m shedding pubic hair like there’s no tomorrow! 

I hadnt given the other parts of my body even a moments thought! On the upside I guess I won’t have to worry about my bikini line for the remainder of the summer ( should I actually put on a swimming costume). 

Just wanted to share with someone because while I’m comfortable discussing most BC related things with my friends and family, I’m not sure how they’d react  if I droped this topic into a conversation 😆

    @Tracey2800 the only thing I loved about all this crap was being hair free in places I would usually wax/shave & now it’s all coming back with a vengeance!! Wholly moly I think I need a brush cutter

    I ended up with a sort of reverse brazillian, the hair on the outside of my bikini line stayed,; it was like some digusting Fu Manchu moustache. I considered that to be indicative of the state of my life. I mean, really? The one thing that could be looked at as a bonus eluded me.
