Check before you shave
Hi all, i just wanted to share my experience about what happened after I shaved my head.
After my bc diagnose I joined this forum and really wanted to know how to cope with hair loss etc. After reading everyones comments and advise, I made up my mind to just shave it short (no.2) day 5 after my 1st cycle. So i did and I didn't feel upset considering I always had long hair. Strangely I was really looking forward to do that. Of course now I wish I still had my long hair...it's been a hassle having to put headscarf on everyday and having to adjust it all the time. I even had a dream that I was out somewhere and forgot to put the scarf on and everyone was staring at me...you know...like one of those dream where you walking around naked at the shops....
So 4 days after I shaved my head a letter from RTA arrived saying that my license will be expired in about 1 month time and it is recommended to renew it within 2 weeks as it will take about 2 weeks to post the new one out.... oh no....I literally screamed and yelled at the letter as there was no one at home at the time. Luckily one lovely lady from this forum told me about wig library so I made an appointment right away and had my photo taken for my license a week later...
can't wait for the next renewal so I can replace the photo hahaha
So for the new members, before you cut your hair please remember to check the expiry date of your license or passport or anything that needs your photo.
Fyi, the only time I wore my wig was for my license photo and haven't worn it since....it made me itchy and hot.
Hugs, Liana xx
