Quick Hair Loss Question

Hi, Im a little down the track from you and I can really say that your hair will come back, it dosnt define you, you are the person within all the time. I found my husband loves me more (if this can be) after having cancer. He will see the beauty that is you (hair or no hair), not your illness. Im now three yeasr past treatment and my long blond hair is back, I love to do weird things with it now and at the moment I am half purple. Plan for the future, endure the present as it will get better. Remember we are here for you.  xxxx. Travel safe.

Hi Tania, I feel for you and know excattly how you feel. I am having my last of 4 cycles on Thursday so am thinking of the regrowth stage now too which everyone says can be different. I have long blonde (coloured) hair too and did the same thing cut into a short bob and agree I did like the look. I cried when it started coming out and then it started clumping so I had my wodnerful husband do number 4 clippers. That lasted a week under the wig but looked awful. So even though it was the last thing I wanted Anthony shaved my head. I still find that a look at pictures of myself with hair and often look in the mirror and just cry. But then you have to pull yourself together as much as possible and think why we are going through this and the end positive result. My husband kisses my bald head and now finds it strange when I wear the wig.....but it is very hard. So I dont think I gave any advice, just take one day at a time, think of the end result and take all the hugs and kisses from our wonderful husbands. Good luck with the rest of the journey. X

Hi, first chemo next Thursday....and trying to not focus on it too much. Even though I know I should be concerned about the chemo drugs etc, I am having trouble getting past the hair going. My hairdresser plans on cutting it from long to medium this weekend and then a couple of days later go the short style in preparation. I am also going wig shopping tomorrow in prep. So trying to have some control is okay but then I stop and look at my long lovely hair and I just cry. I hate this feeling. I know all the 'it will grow back' and 'you'll still be Susan' comments are meant to help but they dont. Anyway enough complaining, just wanted to share some feelings and enjoy my hair for another few days.
