3jaysmom thank you. What a nice thing to say. (blushes)

Suzanne Too funny

Lago-our hair is much the same, except I colored mine because I couldn't do gray.LOL!  I used to wear my hair almost this short in a former life, but I was much thinner then. It really looks great on you!  I've got to have a little more before I go hatless in public, but I finish rads next week and am ready to swim in my pool!!  One perk of short hair is that I can swim in the morning before I go to work and have time for my hair to dry!!

tnbcRuth:  I can't wait to see your new color!!!   I bet it looks fantastic.  As for my adventure as a blonde--too much upkeep--the roots were a pain--so back to wht nature gave me.  I did go burgundy once, though.

Marie- I love your new hair color.  Looks Great!

Lago- nice pic.  Your hair seems to be growing well.  Mine is going so slow.

Joan888- I know what you mean.  It seems to go so slow.  I figure I will try and quit stressing over it, but it has been 5 months for me and I don't have much.  I am hoping by July it will be long enough to have some sort of style to it.  My husband keeps saying I look like JFK.  (-:  It seems to part and go to the side.  I look like a little boy for sure.  I guess we just need to try and be patient as hard as it is.

Take Care everyone!

My profile picture is me -- 6 1/2 months out of chemo.  Chemo curls.  Have enjoyed reading your posts.  Trying to educate myself on how to possible lessen some of the various greys in my hair -- was more blonde before (had it colored) but just so grateful to have hair now.  HUGS!

Well I posted my hair pics on Timtam's Hair forum.  Only because I didn't have time to upload it somewhere else so I could paste it here.  I can tell you, at 8.5 weeks pfc, it is growing faster and getting thicker pretty quick.

It's the same place as the construction pictures... just in a different spot.  Do you have access to the picture forum she set up?

It's in the General Forum... Hair, Hair, Hair thread.  It's not in the Girls Only section.  Click the Home button at the top, and part way down you'll see the Entrance, and then General (Co-Ed).

It's not on this website.  It's the picture forum that Timtam created and it has the same named Thread as this one for Hair.  PM MBJ or Timtam... they can help get you to the site I'm talking about.  I'll try to find a spot online to store my pics, and then I can paste them here.  Just hadn't had time to do that yet. 

so glad to have found this thread (and alas, wishing this site were more easily searchable...)! 

just finished 4x AC and starting 4x Taxol. I finish on May 16th and was hoping to have a supershort but sassy amount of hair by the time we go to a wedding July 3rd, but as I see the photos, it's not looking like it; o well. I think the hard thing is that I'd be more comfortable being completely bald than bird-fuzzy...hmm. patience patience patience. 

Hi Emily: The search function (accessed with the search button at the top right of the page) is fairly basic, but it is good if you want to search for something specific such as tamoxifen. It doesn't allow you to search for phrases or to limit your thread to a particular thread or forum. If there's a paricular user whose comments you find informative, you can search on username. You can also try searching with Google and include "community.breastcancer.org" as one of the search terms.

You will have six weeks from end of chemo to the wedding. Even if you don't have a lot of hair by then, I think you may be more focused on the relief of having finished chemo and being really able to enjoy yourself at the wedding. The hair will come before you realize it.

MaryNY:  It's a private site that you get directed to when you request permission to join from one of the gals here.  Send a private message to MBJ.  I know she can help direct you.  You won't find it with google.  Those who decide to contribute to the picture forum want to make sure the pics stay private and are only used for the women facing mx.  I'll also pm her and let her know you're asking how to get to it.

I'm not sure how it works and to my knowledge no one has ever provided a public link.  But they will help you!

Lago: My hair has also come in with way more white/gray than I ever had before. And the dark hair, that used to be a medium to dark brown is now black. My eyebrows have not started to come back yet, so can't comment on that. I've noticed a few woman have said the same about black hair coming in. Very strange, huh?

I had no idea what color my hair was because I had been hilighting it for 30 years...well I found out I have salt and pepper hair, ick.  So I just dyed it RED.
