Hi Joey love, I have just watched your video. What a good thing to do. You look wonderful with the shaved head. Embrace the freedom from caring for long hair. It will grow back it you want it to. Maybe slow but whatever!!! It has taken me 8 months to need a haircut. I too had long hair for a very long time (probably as long as you are old) I was surprised at how "easy" it was to lose it. My hair came back so curly. I want to grow it into a bob so had it permanently straightened last week. At least now I have hair that "hangs down" instead of "out". You will get through this. It is good to know that you were fit and strong before your diagnosis. I too was very fit prior to bc. It is difficult being "idle" during treatment but just "go with the flow" and before you know it you will be able to "find some of your old normal and get some new normal" back into your life. I have now started back at personal training. I waited until my body told me it was ready. Very important to listen to your body. XLeonie
