Hi Belinda,I have to say that loosing my hair was the worst thing. The diagnosis was bad enough and that was followed by many complications the pain was awful and the fear was palpable but lossing my hair was bad. I cried as I pulled chunks from my head. I had never thought I could be so attached to my hair. However I bit the bullet and my daughter ,who is a hairdresser, shaved my head. I had a wig which I wore but during the summer I found it to be just too undcomfortable.
So I invested in lovely hats and scarves my creativity was challanged but not a day wnet buy that I did not receive a compliment about either the current hat or scarf.
So go ahead and and allow yourself to grieve for your hair, it has been part of you and who you are for such a long time. Just be kind to yourself and use your sense of humour to get you through this time. When you are able to get a wig be adventurous and use your hairdressing skills.
Take care of yourself and my wish for you is that 2013 is kind to you. Happy New Year.
