Chemotherapy begins
So. The margins of the re-excision are still close. Not sure what that means surgery wise but my oncologist wants to start treatment so any further surgery will have to wait until afterwards.

Hi Chrissy, I understand the concern re infection and ingrown hair. I think we become super vigilent when we start chemo. I took the option of a no blade on the little clippers (these are little clippers with all these extra attachments not big hair clippers) rather than a shave (it is very close to a shave). I have sensitive skin so I get a rash even when I shave my legs so I thought best not on my head (much to my husbands disappointment as he is bald and has all the "right stuff" for head shaving). I have just been letting my hair fall out naturally on my legs and arms, so I figure it will happen on my head (although suprisinglynot yet). I wash my head with my facewash or the cepetal soap and then every couple of days rub sorbolene and glycerine over it. I also have little cotton caps with no seams that help when I go to bed. I hope you find a solution soon. Sleep is so important.
