Thank you for your honesty @MicheleR, and for opening up this topic. Big hug!! I’m missing my hair too. It’s awful being without. It has a purpose apart from framing your face, and feeling lovely and glossy: it keeps your head and neck warm. My hair has always been a big part of my identity. It continues to be a big deal not having any. After 2 months of AC and 9 weekly Taxol I have a white down growing! I concur, @Mazbeth, @TonyaM , it’s no picnic having to grab my wig and then worry if it’s on correctly. Feeling people looking at you. My Mum, who I haven’t told about the BC because she has dementia, has finally stopped commenting on my grey hair (wig) and how she doesn’t recognise me! After Covid closed hairdressers, I embraced the grey 1st April and started growing out my hair dye covering with hats etc. Then cancer diagnosed, then chemo and pouff! All gone in first 2 weeks.
now eyebrows have mostly gone and I’ve 5 eyelashes on each eye. I’m drawing on eyebrows and eyeliner (thank you LGFB!). It takes an extra 10-15 mins. Then I notice half way through the day I’ve rubbed off part of an eyebrow! Aargh.
