Hair Hair Hair - Another question

Missy_111, I will be looking into extensions as soon as my hair gets a bit longer. It's still only one inch at the most and I think would need to be longer for extensions.  I will definitely keep everyone informed of what I find out.

Marjie - I KNEW there was a reason my butt looked bigger!!!!  Thank you for clarifying that one, because here I was thinking it was the weight I'd gained during chemo making it look bigger, but now I know it's just because I have short hair!    I'm sure that also holds true for my jeans not fitting anymore, either, right? 

Maybe once we all get our hair back, we should try to restart the "80's big hair" trend...I know my butt looked smaller when I had big hair 25 years ago!  AND, I KNOW I looked younger then with long hair, too!   

Kymn, you look awesome!  Thanks for sharing the pics!

How do you gals deal with the awkward grow out stages?  My hair is about 4-5 inches long and is getting harder to do.  It is very thick and curly.  I blow it out, use a couple good products.  Some days I have good hair, others not so much. 

JeanneR, dont's you just hate that peach fuzz. Excited to see it but it looks weirder to me than being completely bald. I feel all the hair follicle on my head just waiting to pop through, very strange. I did have to shave my legs first.

marjie, I think you look adorable in short hair, very young and sexy. I haven't had short hair since I was a kid so this will be new for me to. Course at this point, any hair will be new to me.

I actually wouldn't mind my butt looking bigger, lost a whole lot of muscle tone during chemo, I know I'm odd man out.

Kitty cat if that is your hair in your avatar then I think it looks great!!!

I just googled methylparaben and it says BLUEBERRIES have this... huh?

thanks for sharing the article sweetbean- it is scary! i am trying to learn more about what products have these chemicals in them. if anyone else has more info- would love to hear it.

on the hair update- i am thankful to have most of the head covered. (I am almost 15 wks PFC- tomorrow is 15 wks). I can almost part the hair- if I don't I have the Eddie Munster look (I am showing my age w/ that reference!) Just glad it's there- it's more gray than I like!

marial,

I am going to toss the wig as soon as I can (maybe 3 more weeks to work).  I can always buy a new one.  The hats I purchased are regular ball hats, and I will keep those and a few expensive pretied scarves I bought.  I have the same reluctance to part with them as you do.  Maybe in a few months that will improve??

marial I gave one wig I never wore and some of my head coverings to another gal I met on here (she's local). I kept my more expensive wig and some of the scarves I actually like. I purposely bought some that I could use again for other purposes.

I figure the wig was only worn twice. If I had been working I might have to wear it when there were clients… so just in case I'm keeping it for a bit. Maybe when I get my port removed in 2  years I'll give my wig to someone.

I have the same question. 2 years?

lago, I was wondering the same thing. I just met with my surgeon and she wanted to know when I wanted to have my port removed. Dec 1 will be a year since my surgery, and I was thinking about having it out after my one year all clear mammo (crosses fingers) I have such an awful time with IVs, and don't mind keeping the port in for the foreseeable future.

I can understand keeping it if you have nasty veins but man oh man I can not wait to get mine removed. I haven't had any problems with it, but because I'm so thin it sticks out alot and it honestly grosses me out. I think to, for me, it's a symbol of something I'd just as soon put in my past. Mine comes our Oct 3rd and it can't get here soon enough.

Yay!!!
