Huge head - need help!
I have always had problems finding hats big enough to fit my big melon and usually have to settle for ones that just sit high on my head. Will be 👨‍🦲 in a couple of weeks and have found 4 turban type things that fit but the wig stocking I tried was far too tight and advertised bamboo caps to wear under hats are at least 3…
Won the wrong lottery
Hi, 1 in 8 and I wouldn’t win Tatts but I’ve won an early diagnosis triple positive gremlin. Surgery was a little over 3 weeks ago. Clear Margins and negative in the sentinel nodes - another win 🙂 I had an appointment with the radio guru today who says 4 weeks of treatment after my chemo. So that will be a few months away…
Hair loss
So it’s been 2 weeks to the day since my first chemo treatment. On Monday I noticed my hair has started to fall out and 2 days on and more and more hair is falling out. I was at my local shopping center today and I was going to get my head shaved but I found myself over whelmed and chicken out. Any tips on when or where I…
Hair dye after chemo
Hi, been looking through old posts on this but wondered if there was anything new? 2 months post chemo and my hair is coming back nicely BUT it's very salt and pepper.. which would be ok but my eyebrows are coming back in my original dark blonde which is making me feel really self conscious and I don't look like me. I…

To Shave or not to shave?
Hi everyone would like to know your experience. Just about finished my last round of Chemotherapy, hair is starting to grow back but it’s quite light and fluffy. Spoke to a lady the other day and she said that she shaved her head again to get rid of the fluff, once it grew back it looked and felt like hair . Any other…

They started with me three years ago this month and then went to Newcastle for Christine then to vic with @Salpal then back to NSW with @Kellee who kindly posted them back to me with a gorgeous card and key ring Each one…
The good, the bad and the ugly of my cold cap journey
Dear everyone, I am two and a half months past my last cycle of chemotherapy so I though I will share my experience with the cold calp. I had 4 cycles of TC (20/11/18 to 23/01/19). I chose to do a neoadjuvant treatment and start with chemotherapy to allow genetic testing to happen and give me some time to think about the…
Chemo curls
How long did it take for you to lose your chemo curls? I’m 6 months past chemo & my hair is growing quite fast, but I think it’s getting curlier 🧐. Wouldn’t mind getting my straightish hair back now (although I am happy just having hair)
Hair today...
I got my first post-chemo haircut yesterday (as opposed to the No. 1 I gave myself). I hadn't seen my lovely hairdresser since before this shit began. I didn't want to tell her what was going on over the phone as she has lost too many close family members over the last couple of years to various cancers. But she knew as…
