Hi Sam
The LGFB is so much fun! I really enjoyed it. I now know how to put make on!
I was told my hair would definitely fall out so in preparation for that I cut my hair to my ears (I had shoulder length brown hair).
After the first two chemo's my hair began to feel like straw. The thought of clumps of hair coming out in the shower or wherever stressed the hell out of me. So I got the dog clippers one afternoon and my family and I (husband and two kids) clipped it down to a number 2. It was the best thing I could of done, and surprisingly I looked really good with short grey hair. After that my hair did begin to fall out. My scalp began to feel like I had been wearing my hair in a ponytail for too long, sort of irritated, and then it actually began to fall out. So small silver flecks on the back of the couch where my head had been resting was okay. I still have some stubborn stubble on my head! It has really hung in there!
Have fun at the LGFB!
