Having started the week off not knowing if I could cope with losing my hair, its ended with me bald & very happy. Within a matter of days I was loosing so much hair it was everywhere. I didn't dare touch my head & showing just became a depressing event that I dreaded. I finally decided to take the bull by the horns & take control. I had purchased a couple of lovely hats (red123 ebay) from someone recommended to me by a friend, & plucked up the courage to talk wigs. I went to the hospital's hairdressers who was fantastic - we decided on a style & she brought it down for me to try while I was having my chemo. My friend shaved my head & I woke up this morning for the first time not worrying about how much more hair I'd lost.
It's going to take us all a little while to get use to & my nine year old especially is finding it hard. I told him I'm just like the trees who loose there leaves in winter but grow back in spring - not sure he's convinced!
