Well done for getting onto the BCNA Website where you will be scooped up by lovely ladies who have been through your experience, and totally get it. The world of Breast Cancer is like suddenly moving to another planet, but as the Queen of hair-drama, and 20 years of hairdressing behind me, I really get your emotions with your hair. I have a picture I will put on here to give you an idea. I always had long hair too, and wasnt a massive fan of of grey hair. I hung onto my hair to the last minute. My Mum was the lucky one to shave it, on that morning I was feeling too sick to care. I recommend the cotton caps from the Cancer Council to collect the bristles. I bought a wig, but couldnt wear it for a long time because I had a scalp infection, which is rare Im told. Now my hair is growing back, its about 2 cms long, and clearly not the colour I wish it to be. I made a new friend on the last day of my Chemo, she is a hairdresser (I havent been for 5 years now), and we clicked. So soon I will be having a colour, so I can feel younger again! Also, my darling husband said, on the night we went out for dinner to celebrate end of treatments "I prefer you without the wig, you look like some-one else with it!" So what a change it has been since Nov 2012 !
