Yes i shaved my HEAD :p

Hi All,

Last night enough was enough i was so sick of washing my hair and waiting so i got my husband to shave it all off i thought i would cry but instead all i could do was smile and have a little laugh it was such a relief for me...

I went a No7 and im happy with the length not to long and not too short, I was sick of waiting for it to fall out it scared me...

Dont get me wrong i will freak a little when it starts to fall out but it will be no where as bad...

I am feeling Awesome day 11 after chemo and im so happy with my progress its only my 1st session and i hear off some people it gets easier and others it gets harder...

Hope everyone is going good... Look forward to hearing from you :o)

    Yes I took the step of 'shaving it all off' especially after it started to fall out - I have saved a fortune on shampoo and hair products, I didn't bother with a wig but opted for nice scaves instead - mind you most of the time at home I wear a 'beanie' because my noggin gets awfully cold! I even wear one to bed! cheers Josie x
