Hi All
im new here - first post so be gentle!
I was diagnosed with triple positive BC in June - I’ve had my surgery and they got it all with no spread to lymph nodes .
I’ve had my chemo and about to start radiotherapy and am on herceptin, zolodex injection and letrozole
My hair started falling out by the handful so I did a “brave the shave” at the start of November and raised £4200 and then got hubby to take some proper photos to remember it by - it’s not often you get to have a buzz cut after all
weirdly my eyebrows and eyelashes fell out this week too 5 weeks after I finished my last chemo!! They were absolutely fine with no loss and then I woke up on Friday and they’d disappeared overnight - my kids thought it was hilarious!
i have a wig but find it uncomfortable to wear - I only bought it as my 3 year old niece won’t even look at me bald and that hurt so I only wear it around her - im Not overly bothered by my fuzzy head and its bobble hat season anyway!
but hopefully better weather is coming and I’m going to have to protect my head - I’ve tried wearing scarves but I hate the look but I’ve seen that you can get just a fringe hair piece which softens the look
However all the ones I’ve seen online are clip in and I have nothing to clip it too!!!! Can anyone recommend any stick on fringe pieces they’ve bought and where you got them from please
thanks in advance xx
