Hi

My ears got so cold! I did lose all body hair for a few months which was nice. Eye lashes and brows thinned out after chemo finished but never went completely.

Love the blog x

Oh that's much more exciting than my husband shaving mine in the middle of the kitchen floor but we did laugh. I was freezing and I miss my hair for that reason. Wig looks great, love the blog your children are lovely. I'm so hoping I don't lose my lashes and brows too much. They're still there after three tch

Girls delighted to hear you still have lashes and eyebrows - really really dont want to lose them - so you give me hope.

Thanks for the nice compliments on the kids - they are smashing.

Cheers
Dee

Same here, and I've had three sessions and they are still there. I so want mine to stay.

Hi Dee,

I Have you hand it to you. You look just amazing - with and without your wig!

I'm so glad your three lovely little ladies are coping well with all of this - it must be very reassuring for you.

Best of luck for the next chemo.

Hugs

Kathleen

[color=#0000BF:3s20zai6]have to say being bald is not so bad. The thoughts of it were worse. I even think I'll have some difficulty getting used to having hair again (when it grows back) and having to spend all that time working it. Its great to jump in the shower, dry your 'bald head' and off you go......love it. Now I know why men like my other half, who have very very little hair, just never 'got' the whole doing my hair thing. The running joke when I got stressed out over my hair was 'oh-just shave it off like me'....little did he think one day I would. Bald and happy just very very cold. Image removed. [/color:3s20zai6]

Oh sunshine my sentiments exactly it was more stressful when it was falling out. I can concur with you in not missing the blow drying and straightening and showering is so short now. It is cold though but worse things happen it's all part of the healing process happy days

Oooh its sure cold isnt it girls cant go around the house with a little hat one. Apart from that its easy have a wig and wear that most of the time but take it off minute I get home. I am still at the stubble stage dying for the stubble to fall out!!! The girls are dying to get their hands on the back of my head to do my make-up for the laugh and picture me!!!
