Like you say, isnt it strange we lose parts of our body, but take our hair, and we are a mess, when i was going through the journey, i thought, it's only hair, that will be the least of my problems..... at the time WRONG!!!! it is very traumatising, but unfortunately it is the better of two evil, as we know it will grow back in, and meanwhile we are getting the treatment we need, to get back to living our life. the plus side is, mine grew in REALLY curlie and black, so for over a year i washed it and went, no hairdriers, straightners etc, i was even ready to go out before my husband was ready. so see there is a positive to everything. just doesn't seem like it at the moment, and so all of us on here know how you are feeling. And yes Tanya, we did look glam with our bald heads.... didn't we????? Good Lcuk Julie, and please keep comming back to let us know how you are doing. Regards MoiraX
