So today has been emotional but a positive day. Took the leap and hubby shaved my head after clumps falling out for days ,actually really comfortable in my head scarfs and wigs at the ready emotionally I'm drained but ready for second chemo Wednesday bang in the middle of half term my kids off so challenging very nervous but determined to keep going and to embrace the new me hugs to you all.
Good for you. For me, the head shave was both a concern and a relief. It felt so much better in one way, I didn't have to cope with the emotion of hair falling out in clumps, but the scarves pretty much told the world I had cancer! I found the wig was the absolute best for me, it looked natural so allowed me to have control over whether I shared my diagnosis or not.
Am glad you took the plunge and did this, and I really hope your second chemo is kind to you with not so many side effects and you can enjoy half term. Best wishes
Thank-you so much I am praying for a smoother round 2 hope your well and really hope I can enjoy with my kids too everything crossed lol xx
