newly diganosed

Hi Sheryn, I lost my hair. I was warned it would happen very early and they were right. I lost all the hair on my body, and I do mean ALL, within the first month and didn't get any growth until about 3 months after the last round. Yes I was getting worried. But it has grown back thick and curly on my head, I now have a very nice pixie style and had my first hair cut last week, I was very excited :) I decided right from the beginning not to try cold caps as it added to the length of time in the chemo chair and didn't think I could cope with the pain etc plus the chemo. I was actually more upset about losing my eyebrows & eyelashes. Make sure you book into the Look Good Feel Better workshops, they give you info about wigs, scarfs, drawing eyebrows etc. it was a lot of fun with ladies like us. I got a wig and used it a lot, it made me feel a bit normal. Xx
