Hair loss
Sitting here with tears streaming cos my hair has started coming out in big clumps. I'm on day 19 since start of chemo so I've been expecting it but that doesn't make it any easier. I feel overwhelmed...

I lost mine only a few days after my second chemo, spring 2021. I remember sitting on our verandah, and I pulled it out in big clumps, and didn't stop until nothing more came out in my hands. I threw it into our garden, and through some tears, watched the little blue wrens come and take it away, to line their nests with it. Bitter-sweet. Confronting to see it come out. Nice to see it being used by the little birds.
And the super-unfair bit is that it was only the coloured hair that fell out - all my grey ones stayed put! On what planet is that ok???
