All the literature I received said that hair loss would occur in 14-21 days. Right on target.
As I sit here on day 20 of my chemo adventure I can tell you They nailed it. My hair loss in the last 48 hours overwhelmed me. I was really hoping I would benefit from my genetically thick hair & just keep it thin and sleek.
I decided this morning when I woke up and LOOKED like a cancer patient that I'd had enough.
The girls & I had fun this morning trying on wig options. Georgia could pass as Billy Ray Cirus' child.
This afternoon I accepted I will be bald for Easter ... & yes, I am planning on painting my head. As such, I decided to get this freaking hair off my head and got my head shaved this afternoon. I decided I would rather be bald than look like a chemo patient.
As always, there still an upside. The American cancer society has contacted me about doing a news promo spot for the Pantene wig I received. I could become famous! Hahahaha
