Thought I would start the hair loss by having a 20's bob next week (like Mary in Downton Abbey) I quite like my medium length hair but a few weeks of something new before it all falls out may be a change!
I had long hair until May last year when I had a around of chemo x 6. Lost most of it when I was away staying at a hotel. Managed very well all summer wearing hats but later regretted not keeping the lost hair as I could have attached some to the underside hat rims but of course could not retrieve it from a hotel bin! I didn't go completely bald but had bald patches. I never believed it would re-grow but it is now an inch long. I got by so far this winter with soft acrylic bobble hats (nothing that itches) and my blonde bob wig. I got a thin cotton knitted hat from Maggie's, which was meant to be worn alone but I found wearing it under my wig stopped any itching.
Thank you, it's hard to know what to expect and how it will effect you until you go through it. I like wearing hats so am sure that will help and will look at at getting a wig. I expect the nurses will help me with that. Waiting for the appointment for a bone scan and first treatment, hopefully soon. Sometimes the process seems to take forever!
