Scared at the thought of chemo

Well no not exactly. I guess the colour was about the same with maybe a little more grey starting to show at the side (although I've had it coloured now to hide that) but it is really curly after I wash it. It's like an afro. So I spend about half an hour with the hair staightener after every wash to get it looking normal again. I'm hoping that the curliness will disappear eventually. I always had a bit of a wave in my hair but never as curly as it is now. I was actually going to post on here to ask other women when/if the curliness goes away but it seems like such a trivial problem in the scheme of things. I guess I'm just relieved to have hair again.

Regarding the wig, you will find it sits much better on your head when you lose your hair. I got a little cap made out of pantyhose material which I wore under the wig which helped it stay in place and made it less itchy. They sold them at the wig shop for about $6. It does feel weird at first but you get used to it and I really don't think anyone noticed I was wearing a wig. Maybe they were just being nice but everyone I spoke to about it said they thought it looked real. It's amazing really how real the wigs can look, especially if choose something similar to your normal hair style.

Good luck with it all. I hope you dont have too many nasty symptoms. Janet.
