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....

Hi again everyone,
I have been sitting thinking about my hair and how much the loss of it has affected me and indeed the regrowth being grey and slow is still affecting me. I was thinking that other people must think, gee how vain is she to be thinking about this trivial thing. But if you really think deeper and why we fear and mourn the loss of our hair so much is that at 'that very moment' it says "she has cancer". No other physical thing says this more loud and clear. You would not notice someone with hair going through BC unless they told you. Also for me, this loss was when I was 'actually' sick. I wasn't sick before treatment began. It's certainly not the most painful side effect but it is the most obvious one. I say to myself now that it's okay to mourn this loss. It is natural and right to do so.
Just my thoughts :)
Love Janey xxx
