Hair Hair Hair - Another question

Wow ks, that is a lot of hair...beautiful! How far PFC are you?

oooh me too I pet my fuzzies all day long.  just so happy to have something.  my husband chides me, guess he is afraid they will rub off.  gues they could, everything is so fine, but it feels nice.  pet pet pet. 

 But I agree completely with the above statements, nature will take its course.  None of these fancy products is going to make it come faster.  save your money and just try to wait.  it will come.

I am almost 1 year pfc.  I have had 3 trims since my hair started growing.

KS Mathews, you look gorgeous!

I pet my head too LOL!!  Pet, pet, pet... Agree with everyone else where I don't think any over the counter shampoo will help.  I find if I take pics along the way it helps me to see some progress.  Its even more filled in then when I posted about 10 days ago.

KS

Awesome! You look great!

I'm almost 3 months out, so definitely looking forward to that milestone.

KS--you look great!

auntienance.. thank you,, was startng to think I was the only one with this wacky hair

ks.. at least your hair is the same on both sides

KS - very cute style and great smile.  You look fabulous!

Hello all,

It 's two weeks ago today since tx #1. Hair coming out in clumps now. Tomorrow I go in for the buzz. I'm actually eager to get there. This hair falling out all over my house is very annoying, especially in my kitchen! Am wearing a sleep cap right now just to keep the fall out under control.

Will take pics before and after. Big day tomorrow!

Gemmie, it is a big day. I know what you mean about being eager to get it done. My thoughts are with you! Its not all bad, showers take a lot less time... It is a sign that those medications are working too.



Mardibra! Congrats that's a milestone!

KS--Was it at all curly before it fell out?

Gemmie:  Having no hair can be quite liberating.  YOu will know what I am talking about once it's gone.  Like JPmomof3 states, showers are faster, you get ready to go places quicker, etc.  I try to think "above the line' as much as I possibly can.  Busy making lemonade from lemons. 

Good luck Gemmie, you'll do great

I couldn't agree with kj more...it felt liberating to me too. I also figured it was gonna fall out, so make some margaritas with those lemons. I've realized that after having long hair my whole life, I was too chicken for change. Now I get to see what my hair looks like at every length. Who knows, I might not want it long again.

Mardi, good for you!

ks, lookin good

Soltantio, sorry you have to go through chemo too. You are doing a different set of drugs than I did. I knew that there was a 100 percent likelihood of losing my hair with the Adriamycin and cytoxan that I started with. As soon as I saw it starting to fall out I had my husband buzz it to stubble length. That way is was the one who decided when the hair went and not the chemo. Unfortunately I have not heard of any treatments that prevent hair loss if its going to happen. Once I accepted that I was going to lose my hair I planned and even looked forward to it in a way. It meant that I was under way with treatments and killing the cancer.

I agree jpmom about taking things in your own hands. It felt like I was in control. I cut my hair and donated it to locks of love right before starting chemo. Wanted to have a bit to get used to it short. When it started falling out, it came out fast. About every couple hours, my dh would take me outside and remove the clumps on my shoulders. After 2 days of that, I shaved it.
