    Hmmm, it must not be available from the ipad :(

    Two options then - you can email me the picture ( bcnaonline@bcna.org.au ) and I will upload it for you - or do you have access to a PC/Laptop? If you do, the option should be available.

    Cheers

  • I went great Daina wish I did it earlier cause now my head is tender I'm on a iPad can't see a camera icon at all.
  • I am happy that you like how it looks and honestly it is so much better than loosing the hair everywhere. Funny when we are told chemo the idea of loosing our hair is difficult and then the reality is get it off as your head does hurt.

    My hair has grown to a reasonable length now and the curls I so love are going and I guess my straight hair will take up residence once more. I do get a bit paranoid about my hair falling out, just the normal amount but I guess its an irrational fear now that I will loose it again.

    Hi Liztay - How did you go with the big shave?

    It would be great to see a fun head shave picture :-)

    If you need a hand let me know but when you make a new comment below - you should see a 'camera' icon (next to the YouTube icon). Select that and find the image on your computer.

  • My partner shaved my hair off a little bit too enthusiastically for my liking.

  • What did j get from chemist? Good luck with ure next dose aswell
  • Mine is coming out too! must call my hairdresser to do the big shave. I have turbans and will get a wig soon - probably won't use it lots but it will give me options. going to look good feel better on monday so that should be fun.  I had a mouth ulcer - was using biotene mouthwash and salt washes but had to resort to the chemist as it was interrupting my sleep. have been very fatigued about day 3 to 7 - and although feeling better this week the tiredness never fully goes. 

    good luck with your dose 2 - I am having mine on tuesday. hoping it goes somewhat the same as this one minus the mouth ulcer.

  • You have the right attitude about your hair.I was pretty much the same. I had my head shaved, and it helps also with your scalp when it gets very sensitive and sore after a few days of hair coming out.I loved my hats and turbans, and the freedom that no hair brings.And the very quick showers!! Keep smiling :) Robynxox
