Hair Loss
well everyone, the inevitable finally happened and just before Easter my hair started coming out in strands (thanks Taxotare) and just got thinner and thinner. No clumps, just so many strands,, so on...
OMG Jenny- you look great! What a terrific wig and so natural looking. It's good to have one if you are going out somewhere special. I could only wear mine for a few hours at a time cos it irritated the hell out of me -would start scratching and get hot and sweaty.I sort of coped ok with the bald thing for 3 months and by then the novelty had well and truly worn off! My hair came through sooooo slowly that I had to cover my head for a further 4 months.In the end it nearly drove me nuts cos it was over summer and the heat cranked up the irritability. It's so liberating when you can go without stuff on your head.I've now packed all my head gear away in a plastic tub-packed away cancer so to speak.
Good luck with your next chemo.
