Taxol 5, Herceptin 2

Gee that's is a large workplace, gotcha about telling colleagues. I'm tired of discussing cancer and treatment totally now, my exception is on bcna with those who understand what I'm talking about. I'm at the stage where my hair is short as if I cut it short, so I don't look like a cancer patient anymore. I went about mostly in scarves because I had a weird conflict with faking it with a wig. It sort of felt like I was ashamed of having cancer if I tried to hide the bald evidence under a wig. I recently had surgery and a huge part of my emotional recovery was to do with my hair and how I used to look. I had really long dark hair and was always told how young I looked. I felt warm and pretty in my hair. I thought I'd accepted how I had changed, but I obviously hadn't. My profile pic is at the end of AC. I think I look good in this pic and am so glad I have it, coz its been all downhill since then. Realistically I don't think I'll feel right till my hair is long enough to flick out of my face. I returned to work end of Jan till April. I started out with a scarf, then after a few weeks just braved my very short hair, then finally coloured it during March sometime. I finished taxol the week I returned to work. I guess we just have to find a way to deal with it. In your case I think I'd do what you've done and wear the wig to curb questions and non genuine concern. I only washed my wig the one time and tried to get the 'doll hair' smell out of it. I don't think I did a good job though. Take care Lou
