    mahometmom - I am in Mansfield!   How crazy is that?!

    Did you see the pics I just posted this morning?   I just had my hair colored on Feb. 1st.   It fell out when I had 2 rounds of A/C  (I had four of those)   but it started growing back as I had 11 rounds of Taxol.    

    I don't know the guidelines for color to "stick"  but mine worked well at this stage.

    Ginger you are so lucky - you look good without hair, with silver hair and short blonde hair!

    Diane: Hope tonight is fun.  Stephanie - It looks fantastic!   I did the same thing. Always said I'l do salt and pepper but when it came in that way, I colored it - it felt too old.  You are a month ahead of me and it gives me hope - if I look half that good on a month, I'll be thrilled.

    Stephanie - you looked really good bald and with short hair.  My hair is tad bit longer than yours and is quite unruly.  It's super curly at the top.  I love your color, too.  I kind of wish I hadn't gone so dark on the last hair color.  Oh well...

    Diane, hope last night was fun! And yes, I am having sleep issues-even more now that I had the ooph.

    Ginger, beautiful!!! I love the blond! Thanks for sharing...I'd love to try blond but has brown chestnut now am don't want to strip the color out. I don't think it would work without bleaching it.

    thanks ladies!

    I had been coloring my grey roots for years!    I simply went back to the color I'd used pre-cancer.    I considered going darker....  but the grey roots show up too soon w/dark hair.....    blonde tends to camouflage it a little better.

    Enjoyed catching up on the last few pages...so many great stories!

    Regarding color - my hair is almost 1' long (hoooo ray) and brown and gray.  Since its suggested we not use harsh chemicals for 6 months, I bought a Roux in red.  It's temp color that washes out each time and is very gentle.  Before I go out, I use a small sponge and apply it to my dry hair.  I comb it and it dries in minutes.  It gives it a rich color and I have gotten a lot of compliments believe it or not!  This is a good temporary fix I think.  I've never had my hair short or brown or curly, so I'm just trying to go with the flow.  I think I may end up with a shorter style in the end after seeing some of the great pics here.

    Last night was a BUST! He has more issues than me and somewhere in his life he lost his balls. He was not the same man i dated 20 yrs ago that is for sure, he's been beaten down by two bad marriages and I just don't have the time or energy to fix him. Although I may give him some pointers on dressing in 2011! Oh BUT he did say my hair looked cute and when I told him what I've been dealing with he was a sweetie...we"ll remain friends but he's just not dateable right now and I am ready to date someone. He isn't yet divorced and I just can't deal with that...NEXT!

    Daiva sorry you're having trouble sleeping. Funny thing since all of this I have been so fatigued I have no trouble sleeping at all. I sleep better now than ever before in my life. I am sure once the fatigue leaves me I will be back to no sleep and late night posting.

    Have a good weekend everyone!

    Diane

    Oh Diane,  ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))  I was hoping all night that things went well for you, you deserve the best.  Smoking, yep I'm ashamed to admit I try to quit everyday...to a non-smoker, that's a biggie!!  Married would be the real deal breaker, here's to hoping he's a nice friend, someone to lean on.  Good luck.

    Diane:  So sorry your date was a bust, however, just getting out there and practicing is great for getting back out there!  He sounds like a mess and a nightmare for a romantic involvement, not even sure if I could handle someone going through that as just a friend!  Don't worry though, I found that when you meet someone who is right, nothing can come between!  No matter what we have been through, there is always hope and the future.

    Diane, first off, I love your sense of humor!! I'm betting he left his balls in his soon to be ex-wife's purse. (I'm sorry, just had to say it, it was there and way too tempting).

    You are going to find someone when you least expect it. I met my husband at the post office at a time that I had all but giving up on dating. Take care and hope you have a great weekend!

    Claire your hair is so beautiful! My hair is growing back with lots of curl similiar to yours. I have to ask....are you on arimidex? My hair is growing back but there's a front section close to my forehead that is thinner and I'm sort of self-consicious about it.There's hair but it's not as dense. I am grateful for the hair growing back though.

    I haven't taken anything to promote hair growth. The funny thing is my leg hair is almost nonexistant - i used to have shave every day.

    My hair was always long and straight - i never had it above my shoulders. I hope i keep the curl - all i do is wash it asnd go- no drying or styling, amazing- before it took me an hour to do my hair.

    Claire, your hair is beautiful and so are you!

    I'm still on chemo (Taxol) and I can hardly wait until my hair grows, but it will be a while.

    P.s your Grand kids is absolutely gorgeous!

    Claire - I love your hair and it is so long and full.  I am 7 months PFC and mine is very curly but not as long.  The grandbabies are gorgeous.

    Claire i really love your hair you look adorable and so do the babies. I am 2 months PFC still not much going on so not sure if it will curl looks kinda like it will be wavy like it was before. Right now it's just fuzz. I am taking biotin and using nioxin. not sure if it helps or not.

    Claire - You hair looks terrific.  However, as I am sure you will agree, the prettiest things in that picture are those two grandchildren.  The girl is gorgeous and the baby is just precious.  I just spent the day with my nephew and niece - kids are great for making you feel young and happy.

    Diane - sorry you date did not go well, but I am cracking up at your post.  Nothing worse than a man who has lost his balls somewhere along the way.  LOL.

    I am on Taxol number 9 monday and I have quite a bit of coverage and hope that after Taxol is done in three weeks it just takes off more. I am happy that it is coming in but wonder if it is being hindered by the Taxol or if this is the rate it will grow? Any ideas? I also don't know how to post a photo, can anyone advise?

    KCMom:  I am sure the Taxol can hinder growth and once you are done you will be amazed at how fast your hair grows!

    kcmom - my hair also started growing on the weekly Taxol.  Mine continued to grow and I have almost 2 inches of hair (and I was done with chemo Oct 27th.  Enjoy the hair growth.  :)

    It will be a year on March 1 that I had my last chemo, and I just wanted to share with everyone here who can't wait for their hair to grow or who are frustrated with how it looks right now:  I have been getting complements on my hair everytime I go out in public.  I haven't had this many complements since I was wearing my wigs, lol!  Even my Onc complemented me today.  So hang in there, it grows back, and in my case I have better hair now then before.
