Deep breath....there goes my hair
Well here we go...I knew this was going to happen, but somewhere deep in my heart I was hoping I'd be the weird one that didn't lose my hair. It's day 14 from my first TC chemo treatment. When I woke...
Thanks Tracy :) I went in and got the rest of my hair cut, look like a proper army recruit now. I guess I'll be glad when as much hair is gonna fall DOES fall, then I can look forward to it coming back. I had a bit of a fright when one of my friends in the US shared that a small percentage of TC patients have never gotten their hair back, but I'm just going to try to put that out of my mind until chemo is done and worry about it then! Hopefully you and I will both be comparing hair length in a few months. I mentioned my worries to the ladies at the wig shop this morning (they specialise in wigs/headgear for cancer patients) and they've never seen permanent complete hair loss in a client. Considering they've been operating for years I like the statistics in that. So that's a relief! I really needed to hear that today.
Thanks for sharing, you ladies really brightened me up. I feel a LOT more positive today!
