Hi Shaylls, the prospect of losing your hair is a scary one. It was the thing I was most vain about, and got myself a wig, which I never really loved, but meant I felt better in public. But mostly at home I ended up finding a warm beanie the best thing (over winter). And once I had some hair back I found myself braver than expected about being public. I am enjoying having a decent covering of short hair now that requires not maintenance whatsoever ! I can even get caught in the rain and it makes no difference. And my daughters are really interested in what style I will end up with. Funny how something that scared me, is something I came to terms with fairly easily.
