So many things said here that already feel like they are heading into the 'past'. I agree with the photos - I think it is good we can see changes and parts of our journey, both good and bad.
Funny about the 'looks' that you may get. I found mostly people were very polite but there seemed to be days when I felt there were 'starers' -- my lovely daughter assured me it was just me feeling a bit uncomfortable and I looked gorgeous anyway ( Sometimes it's so nice to have lovely, supportive and blinkered family!)
Now I am starting to grow hair my hubby's way of coping is obviously thinking I am 'back to normal' (his words) and should be starting to be fitter and more able than I feel I can do. I am playing the radiation tiredness until I have finished that in October but as I have mostly coped pretty well I am determined to get back on board my way - slowly! I learnt that the hard way by trying to lift a bag of kitty litter like I used to and now have a very sore shoulder (the one needed to hold over my head for radiation- ouch!) I think I am becoming more comfortable with hats off a bit mostly at home and remote parks, but hubby gives me funny looks if I haven't drawn on my eyebrows - annoys me but I must admit that it looks better with some eye makeup! I had been to the Look Good, Feel Better workshop and that sure helped with the 'how to' part as I'm not usually a makeup person.
Sorry all - just had a bit of a ramble as I loved all your comments - thanks to all xx
