Hair dramas - funny
So just when I found out I needed chemo I also discovered the kids had given me headlice. It was the only chemo upside I could see - get rid of the horrid things. Well I’m two AC in and have about 100 hairs left and I STILL found two lice this morning. Seriously those things are indestructible. Did make me laugh though.

- LocksleyMemberI remember at primary school long ago my friend and I were in line to have our hair checked by school nurse and we both had some head lice. The nurse put us in the cupboard so other kids wouldn't know. I don't know why but I can tell you I am now quite claustrophobic. My dad threatened sheep dip on us as kids because as soon as we got rid of them someone got them and spread them.
