Hi Jacqui - I know exactly how you feel, I have been 'bald' two or so weeks now, and yes my hair started falling out exactly when they said it would. I got my husband to shave mine and have had a 'beanie' glued to my head ever since. My husband has been very good about it all and I still feel like you do, I hate it and can't wait for the treatment to be over and start looking like a human again - and yes, the boob thing has definitely not been on my priority list of 'what looks the worst'! I think that is because you can 'cover' your boob up - whereas the head is a darn side more obvious to every one - I am not going to worry about a wig as I only have two more sessions to go - so wearing a beanie in winter here in the south, does not look too out of place (lucky they cant see me in bed - I wear one there too because my poor old head gets cold!) I am not good at scarves, I tried a few and decided I kept looking like Sadie the cleaning lady! So when I get some energy up I will have a crack at making myself a turban. In the mean time, you are not alone, and all those fears and thoughts - we have had them too, just remember it will grow back! Keep your chin up and remember we are here for you, lots of love Josie x x x
