Losing hair

I won't be far behind you. kinda dreading it but also know its has to be. let's try and remember it's temporary and all part of bigger picture and treatment. hope you have some headgear at the ready so much choice on amazon and other sites. thinking of you x

It’s distressing isn’t it!

But then it got annoying for me as I was worried about it coming out in the kitchen.  I bought some cheap clippers off of Amazon and got my son to shave me.  So many conflicting emotions - should I ask my son? Would he be distressed? Would I be distressed?  But then after - it was strangely empowering!  As mentioned before - it’s treatment to save or extend our lives - which I shall be forever grateful.  And already as I finished my main chemo a couple of weeks ago, it’s starting to grow! 
good luck! 

Hi, I was you back in October, I was devastated to lose my hair. My partner buzzed it off just before my second chemo. It was beginning to hurt and my scalp was really tingling and sore. Sadly I didn't feel empowered or brave, I just felt sad. 

I have 2 paclitaxel to go, one tomorrow and the FINAL one next Wednesday and my hair has been growing for about 2-3 weeks now.

Other people have said that a month after chemo ends it really starts to grow. I have very fast growing, thick, coarse hair so the next 12 months are going to be interesting with the hair.

I wish you both well, the time really does fly by and before you know it you'll be at the end.

Day 3 + its really coming out now so hairdresser booked for this evening...not looking forward to this but knew it was coming...hard all the same
