I'm sitting here with my brush in one hand and my husband's shaving machine in the other. When I started chemo, it was clear for me: as soon as I lose more than a couple of hairs a day, I'm shaving it. Yeah, very brave of me... Now I pass my hand through my hair and I take it away full of what used to be my greatest asset. I've always had good hair - always kept it long, curly and rich. I should have done this for days now. I'm starting to look like a funny bald monster, like that guy in the "Lord of the Rings", I'm bald with some isles of long hair, that will soon be gone. I don't want to shave it. Should I let it fall itself? I would look horrible, but I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe I'll visit my hairdresser and close my eyes. The reason I'm writing my story is to ask you, ladies, how did you cope with hair loss to chemo? Is vanity a sin or an absurdity in our condition? Hmmmm... Just sitting here. |
