We have hair for a reason, and losing it is a big deal. A very big deal. I find that we get this feeling of needing to be ok with all the side effects of treatment, because ‘at least we got rid of cancer’. Except it’s not that simple. We didn’t ask for the cancer and it’s not fair we have/had it, so the last thing we need is all the side effects in addition. Losing our hair is losing part of our identity. You have every right to miss it and want it back, and be very happy when you finally do have it back. I didn’t do chemo, and I’m very happy and grateful that I kept my beautiful hair and eyelashes, and I’m not ashamed to say it. Of course my health is above everything else, but they’re a part of me too. Of course it will grow back, but until then you’re allowed to lament and miss it 💜
