Yep I remember them ouchy scalp nights trying to put my head on the pillow. It is best to get it all shaved off cause even a little prickle still hurts when you lay your head on the pillow. They say a satin pillow helps but I never got around to getting myself one.
I cut my hair off in stages prior to chemo and then had a number 3 as soon as it started coming out in my hands like yours. I wanted to go total full monty but girls at hairdresser wouldn't let me. I so wish I had of stuck to my guns and gone the whole hog back then. My hair started to fall out day 14 after first chemo.
I am now due for chemo number 5 and I have tiny lil prickles on my head. I have done a rough full monty shave myself as I really really wanted an as smooth as a babys bum feeling but I haven't quite managed to get there yet. Two chemo's to go and I might get there. You will be able to become famous like us and have your beautiful bald head in the blog with all us other bald headed ladies :-)
It is a real tough thing to get through but you will find it is just another hurdle that you will jump over and get to the other side.
My hubby loves running his hands through my hair (bald head that is hee hee).
I got a really lovely wig that everyone comments on how nice it looks (I needed it for my daughters wedding). It came from a wig shop in Subiaco in Perth (not sure where you live but there will be shops in your area as well I am sure) I have private health cover and it was fully covered under the table that I am on so it cost me nothing. Plus also a lot of hospitals will give a voucher to the wig shop for a set amount. I think the public hospital I went to gave a voucher for $160. Worth looking in to these things.
Good luck and stay strong. We are here for you.
