hi @Mags44,
I was on verzenio/abamaciclib and faslodex injections for 22 months,I am now on iv chemo and have been since December,during this whole time my hair has continued to be baby soft, and very thin also curly, it simply does not want to grow,it has also left me with a receeding hairline,
none of which is ideal and I look in the mirror and do not recognize the woman that I see,it has affected my self confidence, however, I am still here,bonus!!! it is what it is,I am grateful that I actually still have some hair,there are different kinds of hair accessories that I have tried,that look pretty good,but all in all I have just had to accept that this is the way things are, I dont like it, but have learned to live with it, I dont wash my hair that often once a week, I did put a colour in, which was a lot darker than I thought it would be and am just letting it grow out,I do go to the hairdresser every couple of months just for her to tidy it up and cut off the wispy bits,I did think of wigs, however they are just too hot,this is the new me and I have to accept that and try and learn to love her,I have mets in my bones and my liver, so know that whatever treatment I am on it is going to affect my hair, cancer, the gift that keeps on giving!!!.
