I have, like forever had long hair. The last time I had a 'proper' cut was when my youngest was born. I think I had it about as short as it is now, and this is SHORT for me!! My hair has been something I could hide behind, something to express my individuality.....it was me.
It was actually, an easy decision to make, I know I'm going to lose my hair. There are cold caps you can wear during chemo that reduce the blood flow to the hair follicles. Which in turn limits the amount of drug that gets to them, reducing hair fall. It would still thin though and I am of the opinion that I'd rather have no hair than a patchy comb over!
Liam and I also discussed the options on offer......no chemo full head of hair almost certain death sooner than we would like, chemo.......bald and I get to live......I already told you the stats!
So it was a 'cake or death' scenario......... (insert bald for cake) no brainer really!
I always think a big cut is a waste of good hair. A couple of friend's daughters have recently sent their hair to a charity which makes wigs for children suffering chemo related alopecia. I thought I'd do the same.
Lovely Louise, managed to get 9" off!
I owe her two hair elastics........I forgot to bring any!
I'm posting the hair off today. I feel good!
