Losing your hair

Oh a big hug goes out there to your little boy, but kids bounce back so well and they will believe and story you create.  What I see on TV all the time are those ads with children who have lost their hair and have had Chemo.  It kinda has given me a WOW moment over that, seeing Id thought to myself, Ive done something to give myself Cancer (about 20 years of having a fab time partying that included a time in a rock band) or was it the bad genes (Mum has had it - still alive).  Oh and I spent 20 years making hair look great, but dont blink at the shampoo ads, I just glance up at my Wedding Pic and think, thank god it will grow back.  I was feeling quite sick the day I shaved it off, made Mum do it because husband wasnt keen to, and bam, all the drama was finally over!  I think being honest with your little boy and making him aware it will grown back, its just the medicine that fixes Cancer, that did it and it wont be forever....thats what Id do.  After all, its in your face!  Oh and yes, order on-line, I found the 2 little sleeping caps are essential, but its cooler here in Tas (yey), and I couldnt buy a hat here, no stock at the brand new Cancer Wellbeing Centre.  Wrong time of the year!  I said to my parents at that moment, wow, hasnt that been my theme the whole way - public holidays, Christmas, you name it, how inconvenient to have Cancer from October!  Make sure if you shave your clippers are sterile and the person doing it is a hairdresser (I got an infection from something!).  I dont get involved with my  mirror anymore, when I was in my 20's I spent way too much time looking at myself in the mirror, and remember there are a lot of guys out there who lose their hair early and thats a drama for them!  (I hope Im making you feel better).  I have cried more about going for walks on my own than losing my hair (Dad went home and he walked with me). but hey dont feel unusual for not wanting to be bald but then remember, we are all bald in here lovely!  (thats the bcna mob who are just starting, like us!) Hugs and give me a yell if ya ever need moral support!  Bel xx
