My hair is coming back

A "selfy" of myself after a month following 7 hits of chemo.    Still wear the wig when I go out, but it gets hot (hot flushes),  My lungs are behaving now, seem to be almost back to normal, and although I am still tired and have an arvo sleep, taking it easy most of the time.  I am happy the majority of the time, curious about what the Radiation for 6 weeks will be like, but assume that it will be ok,   Love Bel

  • Here is a secret about me girls.  I assume most of you know I was a hairdresser for 20 years, it replaced children, and relationships, it was that important (smiling).  During that time I had such strong ideas about my hair, I did my apprenticeship during the 80's and was Queen Perm and "never get your hair wet in public".  Last 10 years, after Id had every hairstyle, every colour, I began to "mature" and for me, loved long hair and was so proud of it.  It was  a hobby styling my hair, it was the only thing I could change every day about myself and I was happy.  So happy it rarely changed and I always thought "When I reach 40 I should get it cut off"  Getting married a week before I turned 40 I was delighted to have long hair and my white dress, Id never been married before, but cant say I was a virgin. (heheeheh).  My husband loves long hair, and I love long hair, but maybe I will be happy to have it half way and he does like the bob.  I think ultimately he loves me no matter what, and how silly am I to care about that hair so much.  Ol' habits.......well you know the rest!  (big smile) love Bel

  • Wonder if it will come back curly or straight. Amazing I am still trying to get use to my curls. Glad your feeling good. Radiation for me was a lot easier than chemo but very tiring think going all week to the hospital gets to you as well as the radiation . All the best Deb
