Your new “do” looks good. But, if your hair is going to fall out for sure (I guess sometimes it doesn’t), why not be brave and get it cut really short——-like a neckline? Just to see what a different style would look like…..Also, my hair hurt a little bit when I washed it during the falling out process. It felt like when I was a little girl and wore it in a tight ponytail, then let it out at the end of the day. It felt good, but hurt a little, too. Just to give you a heads up.
I hope your chemo is as easy as mine. I never got sick, not one time. But, I did have fatigue a lot. That was nothing to complain about, all things considered.
I’m glad you’ve found your niche in our little club here. Stay positive!

I really like your new look. Do you know yet what kind of chemo they will use, or will you find that out next Monday? There are some different combinations that may not produce the same likelihood of hair loss. The combination I am on right now will probably not result in hair loss, but maybe some thinning. The first time I had chemo (andrimayicin, cytoxin)I did have long hair like you. They assured me I would lose my hair and I did get a very short haircut. It did fall, but not right away, it was just before my second treatment and the process took about 4-5 days time just before my second treatment. I have to say I like the texture of my hair just a little better since it has grown back-it seems to be a little curlier with more body and since then have worn it shorter.

I’ll be thinking of you. keep us posted on how you are doing!

When I got my first trt I cut my hair and it was liberating. Get some fun wigs. I changed my color and style and have two wigs and have fun with them. I am so happy I don’t have to shave my legs and armpits! I do wear scarves. See if they have a feel good program in your area through ACS. They gave out makeup and wigs. Thinking of you and sending you lots of healing energy

I like the new cut – and the smile that goes with it in the picture! I know you’ve got a lot coming up this week. Will be thinking about you and sending prayers your way.

Love your new hair cut….it looks great.
In 1994 I started losing my hair the same morning that my late husband and I were going to the wig store to buy a wig. By that night…it was all gone. My bald head never really bothered me but one of my daughters could not bear to look at my bald head. She was a junior in high school at the time.
The 2nd time in 2005 I did not lose my hair. It only thinned out.

realizing it or not but i am here to tell you that you have to be an angel to have cancer.. But you are very lucky as you are an angel but one who has already recieved her wings… So the great advantage to you have is that you must know God and know of His power to heal,, Sometimes healing takes form in a totally different form than we may expect it to be… So knowing Him then one must turn oneself totally to Him and all that you have,,, Yes i am saying that you must give it to him and let him do what needs to be done.. and that means giving Him your cancer and let His will be done… When they told me 2 1/2 years ago about my cancer ,, i did the same as many people and was angry for 2 days,, and then i realized what Jesus had done for me the pain that He must have suffer ,,,,and yet i was able to realize that God can do anything and everything..So that is exactly what i was able to do, was to turn it over to Him and leave it there with Him… I have never been so much at peace as i was from that day on.. It is now easy,, but one needs to take that step of faith and go and do it.
It has been 2 1/2 years and my cancer is not totally gone but i have never been sick one day or lost any of my hair, and i went through 37 radiation and 7 chemos in 7 weeks
So put your trust and faith in one who can do all and cure all… your friend and supporter Ray
