Hair and chemo and to wig or not
My hair is dreadful at the moment, it's the poison I'm having pumped into me I know, but brushing it and finding so much has come out in the brush I'm searching for bald patches is getting a bit distressing. I know I should cut it off but I just can't bring myself to so I'm trying to keep at least some.
Eyebrows gone already which looks odd, I'm allowing grace to paint them on me in the morning which makes us both smile, her concentration to get it just right and little tongue sticking out as she does it makes me smile, and I think me smiling makes her smile too. So not all bad.
I'm coconut oiling daily as what I have is dry as a bone.
My scalp is sore in places so I'm hoping not to lose hair in those places as red patches isn't very nice to look at.
I forget at times and catch sight as I walk past a mirror only to be brought to a full stop as I mourn my poor hair.
I'm a terrible person caring about it like this I know many have much worse so I should be able to just see it as a minor thing but I think I am more upset with it than I was losing my boob.
Anyway I'm told wigs are better than they used to be so I'm wondering whether to go down the wig route or head scarves as I did last time I had chemo.
Which would you do given this problem ?
My husband and family are being stars absolutely doing all they can to make me feel better so I'm a trying not to be too gloomy around them, my friends have disappeared though either I was too gloomy or poor things don't know what to say, I feel sorry for them either way.
Anyway apologies for the gloom but if you have any funny stories about wigs or scarves please share it might cheer me up
