A Shock to the System!
Being diagnosed for the first time is really a shock to the system. It is something you don't expect especially if you can't feel or see anything! Well that's what happen to me.
I have had it removed, had chemo and radiothraphy, now I am recovering. It's hard but I managed to keep on the bright side, I made sure that people around me are the ones that aren't going to say things that make me sad (it's hard enough going through it), and that aren't going to feel sorry for me. Hey sh## happens...
When I first lost my hair, I felt a bit sad, but with the chemo making me hot all the time and sick, i soon got over it, one good thing was I didn't have to worry about brushing and doing my hair in the morning lol, my partner shaved his too so I wouldn't feel so bad.
I went to the feel good look good course which was great, i learnt how to put makeup on and wear scarves and hats in different ways. I made my own hats and wore them, I got some great complaints which lifted my spirits. One good thing I didnt loose was my eyebrows or lashes or so I thought!
After I finished all my treatment I lost them all! But only for about 3 weeks they grew back pretty fast.
Now my hair is starting to grow but guess what? I had straight hair now it has some big waves and curls, not sure if I like them lol...oh and at first I didn't have to brush it but now I have to but at first I use to forget lol, until I got a glipse of my reflection in the mirror then i would go back and brush it...I totally forgot about it growing back lol...
I still get a few aches and pains, but I have learnt to rest when I need to as fatigue is not good and its a way of telling your body to rest and recover. We heal when we sleep.
Oh well my journey is still continuing, so to all you ladies out there don't dispear, try and look on the bright side of things....
Till next time
