Starting Chemo in April 2014

Timbuktu - like this??? lol My Marge Simpson is on its way
-
Very close! Why on earth does it grow in like that? Not quite a Mohawk but getting close!
-
The decision of when to go topless (particularly at work) has been an indication of just how vain I am! The pixie cut (I guess that's the feminine version of a buzz cut) is definitely not a hairstyle I would chose for myself and I won't feel very comfortable with it. I'll have to come up with a readymade response to the "why'd you cut your hair" questions I'm sure I'll get the first day. Any suggestions? (Some co-workers know that I was in chemo, but many don't.)
-
the pixie is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches all over. I have the GI Jane thing going on right now

Everforward - if the people asking you are people you don't want to talk to tell them you had lice. LOL. Seriously - you could say that you always wondered how you would look with that short of hair so you decided to just try it. Or tell them that you are supporting someone who has cancer or that you did it as a fundraising thing. But I think I would go with "I just wanted to see how it would look and hair grows back"
Timbuktu - I don't wear a hat or anything out and I get some serious stares LOL - I try to comb it down with a hair dryer after I shower and it still goes straight up - that picture is after I tried to tame it. And on the crown it is one huge swirl. My daughter's friend says it looks like a hurricane up there. So weird...
-
Thanks, Linda. Great advice, as usual.
-
Linda, Love the hair! I think mine is going to look like yours soon. Mine is shorter, but will not lay flat on top no matter what I do. Lol. At least it's growing!
-
Everforward, I was a little hesitant to go topless. My hubby convinced me that I should just go for it! He said if people want to stare, it's because I look so good in super short hair! Lol. I'm just glad I don't look like Uncle Fester anymore.
-
Giving thanks for all of the wonderful strong, courageous, compassionate women on here who helped me get through a very difficult time! May you all be well!

Have tried to post a few times, but had problems with the Internet connection.
Just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone, and hope things are going well for all.

Hey Ladies!!!! Just wanted to swing by and say hi. Seems like our April chemo group hasn't been posting here too often, which is an awesome testament that we are all slowly putting the pieces back together and moving on with our lives
Just a friendly reminder that a few of us from this thread are part of a private fb group that we share on - we all all pretty active on there (who doesn't check the fb through out the day lol), so if anyone else would like to be added, you can send me a message through here and I'll add you
Hugs to all!!
Jen xoxo
