Hi Joe
Thanks heaps for all of your advice it is very helpful. I got a number 3 hair cut and I am happy with that for now. My hair is still falling out but at least it is only tiny lil bits. It is very tempting to pull on the lil stubby bits...........
I am not sure how I am feeling at the moment. I think I am still feeling numb which is how I have felt a lot of the time. I guess I worry and stress about everything until it actually happens and then I just get on and deal with it the best way I can.

They also managed to organise no other clients to be in the salon for the time I was there so that made things so much easier. I was lucky. I keep telling myself how lucky I am and guess you just get on with it.
Thanks again and good luck as you continue your journey. Chemo number 2 coming up for me next Monday. Mmmmmm can't wait.
But I also have my daughters wedding to look forward to on Easter Saturday which is very exciting :-)
