I am sorry to hear about your results and the return to surgery. Its ok to feel down about these things, being positive doesn't mean we never have bad moments.

As for the hair, we all feel that way, my son got so angry at me when I was devestated about losing my hair, he told me he was facing losing his mother so what was hair! That made me rethink things and yes it was difficult, like you I had long hair, so when my chemo started I had my hair cut short 2 weeks to the day it started to fall out, It was easier with short hair to manage that process and athen a week later I shaved it off. Honestly within a short period I stopped worrying about being bald there was too much else going on.
I am now 14 months post chemo and 8 months post all treatment and surgeries and I have beautiful think hair. Its like a bob now and it came back curly, the curls are finally turning to waves but I am so happy to have a head full of hair.
So just concentrate on getting better and don't worry to much about the hair, it will return.
Sending you hugs
