Here it is --- and this is just what I have been brushing out.
It's getting everywhere and its disgusting. :( It clings to my clothes and it is really tough to wash my hair, which is what happened today ---- it started coming out in droves! :(
It's going fast and I think it is almost time to shave it off. Have you heard of others that have had a party to celebrate shaving their heads? If I could drink wine that may be fun, but I can't --- it tastes horrible, which is sad too.... :(
We go to Pink Petal tomorrow to pick up the wig, so if this gets worse, the shave treatment will be this weekend or early next week. Sorry to be such a downer in this post, I am usually so up, but this is just yucky!
Pink Petal should be an upper thought --- after I get some blood tests before RCHOP #2 on Monday & Tuesday next week. Donna at the Pink Petal is always such an upper, I am looking forward to seeing her and talking with her and getting my new blonde wig! HA! :) My friend Judy is so happy I am going blonde.... it is going to be fun to try on all the styles and colors.... I promise to take photos. It will be a happier, more uplifting post than that pile of hair above!
Yuck.

That SUCKS, Nancy. I know you expected it, but it's probably kind of like how you "expect" to go into labor with your first baby. You think about it, contemplate it, but "expecting" it vs. living it are two very different things. But, if you want to try to turn this around in your head, seeing your hair go means you are moving further along in the cancer fight and one day closer to being cured. And hey - I'll always welcome another blonde to our fold =)
Oh, Nancy, I'm so sorry to see all the :( 's and hear about your hair! I can't wait to see pictures of you as a blonde! And the rest of the "wig fashion" show pictures. I've been stopping by your blog and reading, but typically silent, and am amazed at your strength. Wonder Woman for sure!! :)
Love you!

Hi Nancy, love your site! Great story too. It's really amazing to see cancer sufferers opening up about their experiences and sharing their stories and positive attitudes. I sure you'll be fine. I myself have gone through cancer twice and have been in remission for some time now. I too am a determined person and being strong not only for yourself but for your family and friends too Is important. I recently started a blog/ community site to share my stories and allows other to start their own account to share their stories too. Perhaps you can tell your story share some images and link back to your site from it. More importantly, so people know who you are and give you support. It's a new site but I'm hoping all us determined and positive people can join together and find a way to beat cancer. My site is http://www.rosiescancerfund.com good luck with everything, best wishes to you and your family. Love Rosie :)
