Hi JoJo,
I was devastated about the thought of losing my hair!! I had masses of curls and I felt i was really defined by hair in so many ways!! But I did have it cut short and then when it started falling out I had a number 4. This was SOO much easier and I am glad I did it. A few weeks ago I went down town and there were 5 people that didn't recognise me!! I was wearing a scarf and not my wig that day - it was quite depressing!
I can't wait for my hair to grow back, but losing it wasn't as bad as I thought. I guess with this whole process you just take everything in your stride as it happens. I am focussing on one day at a time and not letting myself think too far ahead.
Good luck JoJo and know we are all here to help you!
