It's started!

Oh sweety, it is only hair and I promise you it does grow back. BUT in saying that I know how hard it is and it really really sucks.  I hated wearing scarves so never ever did, not even around the house.  I bought some cute lil hats or wore my wig and I got through.  At home I didn't wear anything but had  a lil hat by the front door should there be a knock at the door.

My wig was my saviour.  I have 50,000 scarves that will now go to the wig service for them to pass on to other ladies who are unfortunate to be in our position.  As soon as I can give up the bond I had formed with my wig that will also go to the wig council.  My hair is growing back and I get so many wonderful comments on how fantastic it looks and I should keep it just as it is which is a huge boost.  No more wig for me these days.

I am telling you this because I hope it will help you look to the future and even though he was a bloke he was right, it is only hair and it is only temporary that you will be without it.  All this BC crap we have to go through is only temporary but hard for us to grasp that.

Don't be too hard on yourself for feeling down and ripped off as we all do when our hair decides to leave us, I believe it is a bit of a grieving process we go through.  You are right in saying our hair is such a big part of who we are.

If I can suggest you take control like most of us girls did and shave your hair off to take away some of the discomfort and to feel liberated.  You probably won't like what you look like bald but you do get used to it or just learn to live with it.

I am sorry that you are having to go through this.  Thinking of you.
