Holy Sh*it it's finally happening!

So yesterday, I noticed that I was losing a few strands of hair! Well today, I am losing more than a few!

Went to bed last night and my scalp felt sore and everytime I would roll over, my hair felt like it was pulling! Really uncomfortable! Woke up this morning with a headache (not surprising).

After having a shower and running my hands through my hair, quite a large amount of strands appeared and my head hurt! As the day as progressed, more strands and more ouchy.

Thought I would cope pretty good, but I feel really sad. Its really happening! Its really here!
I'm nervous! I'm scared!!

Am going to shave it all off tonight, when I finish work! There's no way I want to wake up tomorrow with another headache and lots of hair in my bed. But I'm scared!

Its just another hurdle I need to jump!

F*ing Cancer, F*ing Chemo!!!

  • Hi, You are a pretty girl so you will look good in hats etc.  Also - bonus - the weather is cool so your head won't get hot.  Have fun with the head wear and You will get through this.  It is now nearly 1 year since I finished chemo.  My hair is nearly to my ears.  I had it chenically straightened so tht it would go down instead out (curls).  The curls were good too when they were short.  Nothing like experiencing new things!!! Best of luck with your treatment. XLeonie
