Still Got My Hair

on 1/24/2008 at 1:43 am in Treatment
Mom had cancer, I couldn't understand why she worried about her hair falling out I mean if it made her live who cared. I sure see things different now. That has been the worst. When your hair comes out in clumps it is devastating. Luckily this time I am on a new chemotherapy Taxol and so far I haven't lost it. Keep your fingers crossed everyone says I look good bald but in all honesrly no one does and I know people just say it to make me feel better. I miss my sisters we were always pretty close I am the baby so you know how much i depended on them. They live in Florida now at least they didn't get to see me bald. I hope I live to see them again. No I will I ain't a quitter besides Casey needs me I am just tired of being tired. Maybe I can go to Florida this summer with my son by my side I'm sure Emmett and Daddy Earl miss me. You couldn't ask for better brother-in-laws. No Donna I'm not sucking up just telling the truth. You never no when you are gonna go so you might as well tell the ones you love that you do love them. Rosie and Leslie you to are the best friends I ever had and no matter what I'll always have you both in my heart where ever I am. Lisa, Amy and Amanda you are the best three brats of neices in the world spoiled to the core but wouldn't have you any other way Troy, Jon ,Tim , Brad, Jason, Jesse Miah and Danny what I wouldn't give to have you all in the same room again. You all have made my life wonderful. Roy and Diane I love you both and miss you both very much. Life went by fast. Enough this isn't my death letter just just in case. Still got my hair though. Jon and Jesse you both know I say no more.

Hi I am in the mist of the fight also. Finished 6 months of chemo on Dec 11th and had mastectomy on Jan 14th. My hair is starting to come back but very slow. I did dread loosing it very much. Started falling out on day 17 of chemo. Played cards with my girlfriends a few days later. The clumps falling were driving me nuts so when my husband got home that evening he shaved it of for me. It was one of the best things. Was prepared. Had bought a wig, scarfs and hats. For me, the anticipation was worse than loosing it. Good luck to you and keep fighting. Pam
