Hair Colour
So, I'm thinking 5 steps ahead as usual. Now that chemo is over, I'm looking more closely at my hair. At the moment, I've got some grey and brown regrowth on the sides and some longer, sparse sections along the top that are white (and I don't think ever fell out). I know there's not much point doing anything at present…

I was brave today!
I thought you lovely ladies might understand and appreciate this. Today I bravely (not really) ventured out for the first time since my hair started growing back without wearing my turban. I didn’t think I had a particularly attractive head when I had hair so I was just never game enough to leave the house without covering…

Anyone like a wig and some chemo caps?
Just wondering if anyone would like a synthetic wig. It's a brunette, shoulder length bob with a reddish highlight. It cost $450, which was paid for me by a charity, and I only wore it twice as I didn't like it. Wigs weren't my thing. I felt weird in it. Just want to 'pay it forward' to someone that can use it. I also have…

Hair loss after 4 weeks
Hello everyone, I've been doing chemo (Abraxane) now for 4 weeks. The oncologist told me I will probably lose my hair. Last Sunday my scalp felt sore so I made an appointment with my hairdresser to get a hair cut on Monday. Felt so much better after the haircut. But I have noticed in the last few days that my hair is…
