Hi Tonya,
It is 4 months since I finished chemo. My hair is slowly growing, it is about 1 to 2 cms, soft, white and grey and hugs my head. I recently dyed it as I could see the white at the sides when I have my wig on. This way I will be able to see when it grows because it is certainly growing slowly. It is a good thing that the weather is mostly cool as the wig gets itchy in the heat. Someone I spoke to said she wore her wig for 18 months and now I can understand why. My biggest problem is the tingles in my hands and feet as they interfere with daily life. I can cope more easily with the hair but I agree with you in that it does affect your identity. However it is good to see hair present.
If patience is meant to be a virtue then I am lacking in it!
