Hi everyone
Well my hair is now a number 1 haircut. My sister first of all took it down to a number 4 but my scalp is SO patchy that I told her to take it even shorter.
I'm left with this stubble now. I'm guessing this will fall out in time and not grow at all??
I've cried over the loss of my hair - especially when I had to sweep it up and put it in the bin. Heck, I even kept a swatch of it so I can remember what it used to be like.
I'm not at the stage of being able to take a pic of my bald head as yet but maybe that will come in time. :-(
I wore my wig to work yesterday. I felt extremely self conscious in it. Every time someone came into the office my heart was in my mouth. The girls I work with told me they liked it - in fact one of them likes it so much that she wants to take the wig to her hairdresser so she can get the same cut and style - lol. I'm not sure whether she's just being kind or not.
I found after wearing it for nearly 10 hours I was wanting to pull the blasted thing off. I had a headache all day (maybe was from me working myself up about wearing it or maybe was from the wig itself - time will tell)
I've ordered some scarves online as I think for the majority of time I will resort to that as I think it will be far more comfortable. Just don't think I can go wigless to work though. :-(
In the overall picture I know that losing your hair is a minor thing but so far (for me anyway) its been one of the most upsetting.
How long after the chemo treatment stops does the hair take to grow to any decent length?
I've heard the first growth can be curly and wiry? So did you all get that cut off and start again with new growth?
