Hair gone....
I didn't think it will affect me loosing my hair but what a lie that was..... My long think curls were shaved last night and it has depressed me cause I guess that is really the only way you look in...

Hi Chris
it is a shock when you first look in the mirror and your hair is gone. I initially bought a wig, very close to my normal hair colour and style as I didn't want to look like a cancer patient but I ended up just going bald. I think it was part of the acceptance of what was happening to me. Some other people were very uncomfortable with it but the majority of the time I was ok with bald. It is a huge acknowledgement that you do I fact have cancer and it's not surprising that it is knocking you somewhat. I don't think I ever got used to seeing my bald head in the mirror. Unfortunately, I have no words of wisdom to give you comfort other than the usual, take one day at a time. Go to look good, feel better and get some ideas. It is surreal. Hang in there love. Karen xox
