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 was the one thing that I dreaded the whole time, even before I started the chemo. I have cried my heart out many times and can't look I. The mirror either. I have clung to a small fringe and sides so that it looks like I have ft har with a scarf on, just couldn't and still can't go all the way with the shave. Looks weird so my hubby says whilst rubbing my prickly shaved head, there are hundreds of prickly hairs that even after 3 rounds if chemo still haven't fallen out, and continues on to say but if that what makes you happier and makes it easier to deal with then I'm happy for you. I also have a wig that I wear when out which is so close to my normal hair in style and colour that it is rediculous. It can get a bit hot but I need normality as much as possible to help me get through this. Sending you and me positive thoughts that both our hairs will grow back as quick as possible. BTW. I too still have eyebrows and lashes, no more shaving or waxing in normal areas is a real blessing in disguise and can stay like that forever if it likes. I have one round of chemo to go.
Take care,
