Up, then down
Hi ladies, I don't know what happened. 3 days ago I posted that my hair was cut and I went out with my scarf, all was good. I was 'owning it'. Now it's 3.30am and I haven't been able to get to sleep....
I am up to the same point you are. I shaved my head last Friday and was amazed that within that week my hair was growing. In my hopeful little world I thought that this chemo isn't going to make my hair fall out at all. Sdaly I was wrong and the little bit I have is slowly falling out. I just cried and felt so ugly. This part is the hardest! I am also a person who likes eveything done yesterday so the long road ahead and to recovery makes me feel sad at times. I have my second chemo coming up on Tuesday and I am feeling more anxious than the first because I know what to expect. I can't complain I only had 3 bad days on the first cycle but I'm dreading even that. I do think it is a good idea to just find somewhere by yourself and just cry. The emotional part of this is so much harde than the physical. I feel at times that is suckes your strength dry.
I too hope you are feeling better today. XO
