Hair Hair Hair - Another question

JulieLynn, I know, with my luck id wake up with the wig crooked looking like an old man with a bad rug. Maybe I will have a hot flash while im under and sweat so much that one of my penciled-in eyebrows rubs off too!

Shore 1 - Too funny!!  Or take off the wig yourself during a hot flash (not knowing of course) and throw it on the floor...or at the doctor.... Eyebrows gone, eyeliner smeared everywhere, hair half on.....such a pretty pic. Thank goodness ours will grow back - Can you imagine having a bad rug for life?

 Hmmm, I may make my husband leave his phone at home so he can't take pics of me right after surgery. 

Love my fuzz!  Come on hair, grow, grow, grow!  

Deb - my exchange is 3/28 also. Will be thinking about you & look forward to hearing how you're doing after.



Ccjj - good luck on 3/16.

i bought mine from a place that does botox, etc. here in oklahoma city.  they were having a buy one/get one free promotion.  still ... it was $120!  i'm going to see if my opthalmologist will prescribe it for me for hypotrichosis (less than normal hair somewhere on the body, including the eyes).  if he will, the price will probably be $5 or so.  latisse is the commercial name for a medication that treats a specific eye disease and when it's sold as 'latisse,' it's stupidly expensive.  i'll let you know what my dr. says.

found out my PS deals with Latisse.. I have appt. with him for after rad eval..( too see damage to skin and time frame for exchange surgery) Will ask him about it

yaya thank you. look forward to hearing what you find out

My PS gave me my Latisse for free. She says she is given 3 month packs from the company especially for chemo patients. Told me to let her know when I ran out and she would give me another. Can't hurt to ask your PS.. Good luck!

Thank you momof2 I will ask my PS when I see him in 2 weeks

ossa, your hair is coming in great!  i like the color, too.

thank you, luvrving!! 

Ossa... Love your hair color. Mine is coming in a horrible grey/black color. I've been coloring it so long I didn't realize it was that grey all over. Cancer, boobs gone, bald with grey hair coming in. All at 44. I thought 40 was supposed to be the new 30 or something like that. Not..

Marjie, good description - "blackish grayish ick "It is what I have now! Im waiting 2 more weeks to color. Hope it takes!



Ossa, looking good.

$120 for that tiny bottle of latisse is highway robbery!  i have an appointment with my opthalmologist on monday and i'm asking him for a prescription for the actual drug and i'm still using the hypotrichosis excuse.  i hope he'll agree with me.  i'll let you know.

looking good ossa!

so I just remembered a comment that bothered me a few weeks ago. I saw someone who is the wife of  business associate of my husbands, and I had not seen her in a long time, since a week after diagnosis. At that time we chatted and I told her what was ahead for me. Now I ran into her and she totally did not recognize me. SO I went over and said and hello and she kept saying you look so different. I mean yeah, I lost all my hair so now its still much shorter and my natural color, I have fake boobs, and I gained 25 pounds . . .  thanks for reminding me. I don't think she meant anything bad by it but wow.

Carrol going from blond to brunette is a HUGE change. I doubt she meant your weight. You are just sensitive about it. I've seen your blond pictures… you do look different. I still think I like the brunette a little better.

Deb yeah sometimes I think I am a bit hypersensitive about my appearance and sometimes I forget for fleeting moments that anything is different. But a person like this reminds me that I will never be the same. It's up to me though to make that mean in a better way.
