Hair loss

I feel your sadness.  My hair started coming out two weeks after my first chemo treatment.  I had my hair cut short (not shaved) before starting treatment, and had been to a Cancer Council turban/wig session where they gave me some caps/scarves and ideas on how to wear them.  I didn't like the wigs but a friend of a friend gave me some wigs that she had and they seem to suit me better.  Hair loss has been THE emotional trigger for me - I've faced up to a shock diagnosis which resulted in lumpectomy, which revealed an undetected tumour, which turned into full mastectomy (thankfully no lymph nodes affected) and now undergoing chemo, with hormone blocker to follow.  But it's dealing with the loss of hair and associated managing of that which has triggered the biggest emotional response.  I'll be half way through chemo treatment after my next session so I'm trying to focus on moving through the processes and that there will be an end to it :).  I'm having a specialist Oncology Massage in between chemo sessions, which make me feel so much better.
