Deanne, you have put into words exactly how I'm feeling. It's been three months since my last chemo (wow, I can't believe that). My hair is growing back but it's still extremely short, completely grey and a bit patchy in the front. My family all say that I look good but I don't believe them, they are just being family. I do not have the confidence to ditch the scarves just yet and certainly feel quite vulnerable. My eyebrows and lashes are slowly coming back though I still feel I have that 'bald' sick look.
Not long before all this started some girlfriends and I were talking about hair colour and I said I was definitely not ready for going al-a-naturale. No grey haired old lady look for me. How ironic that I now have no choice. I still feel that I'm too young for the grey look but I guess I will get used to it.
There is no getting away from the fact the this journey has aged me. I'm not old but I feel aged.
