Dear hair....

So, it's had its fun being curly. Maybe it'll come back the way it was originally, which would be nice, huh? And maybe it'll start growing back before you're done with the taxol. I've heard of this happening, too. Sending you healing energy from NH, Tracey - PJ

I love reading your posts - they always leave me laughing.  Not at you !  Just with you.  I tried to do my "therapy" by laughing my way through.  Instead of waiting for my hair to fall out, at the first sign (and it was 2 weeks after that first treatment), I went to a barber friend and had it all shaved off.  It was going on "my terms".  I had already bought 4 wigs.  One looked pretty much like my own hair, the others were my new "alter egos".  I did not have "red devil" and am very grateful.  I applaud you and wish you all good health and stamina.

I remember the day my "private hair" came out and I almost died laughing because I didn't expect it and found it all in the tub after a bath. 

Eye lashes were the last to go and they waited until 6 weeks after my last chemo - you can imagine my shock - I was sure at that point that they would be spared.  I opted for eyeliner - was not in the mood to try to put on "false eyelashes".  They grew back quickly, but then my chemo was over and I was doing radiation.  I got the new drug "Latisse" and now they are fabulous!

My hair came back curly and so far I have opted to keep it short and natural.  It is just so easy to put some "stuff" in it and just let it curl.  Am still tired sometimes, so don't want to spend time drying my hair and trying to pull it straight.

All my prayers and good wishes to you!
