Well i did it today got my hair cropped very short in readiness for my treatment in a few weeks. I couldnt face the trauma of if falling out , so i thought i would try and get used to it really short before the baldness sets in LOL. I even had my eyebrows and eyelashes tinted, whilst i still have them. My daughters tell me i look younger how lovley and my Gez tells me its fabulous. Do i need any other endorsements.
I must admit i managed not to wimp out in my hairdressers, however she was more nervous than i was because she thought i would be upset, bless her. My daughter and my best friend came with me i think they thought i may need my hand holding so thoughtful.
I keep looking in the mirror and dont see me staring back i am a stranger, and actually i am a stranger im not me anymore and i dont have my normal life anymore and never will again. I cant remember now what life used to be like and yet i was only diagnosed in early May! it saddens me to think back to just a few weeks ago and so I realise that i have to look forward and deal with what this 'new life' has in store for me and my family. I have to attempt to restore some kind of normality for my sanity and theirs!!!
So the new jules is striding forward with purpose and positivity, i wont give up because i cant give up and as i keep saying i am for kicking this monsters ass.
I figure if im getting a new boob & a tummy tuck then hell why not a new harido for the new me........................
