Silly Little Thing, But I'm So Excited!!!!
 

I know that this seems so trivial, but it has been such a good day for me today and I just wanted to share. I got my very first haircut since chemo!! The pic shows my new do and it is with exactly 1 years worth of growth. It was very hard to go this long, and there were some nasty stages, but I think I like it now. Its funny, I look in the mirror and am starting to look "normal" again, but I still feel pretty badly most days- my back hurts alot and I am just exhausted every minute of the day. Hopefully that will get better with time. -But it sure is nice to have a "real" haircut!!

Love, Kelly

Not silly at all!!! You earned that beautiful 'do'! I hope it boosts your spirits and you begin to feel every bit as great as you look!

Kelly it looks great, and represensts so much but only we who have been there know that!!
Congrats, I hope you keep surviving every day and enjoy these "milestones":)

Hey Kelly! You are looking mighty fine, girl! I love your new hair cut. Looks so cute on you! And it is a BIG deal!!!!! Great to see your new do!!!!!

hey hot stuff

all the best

mas bonita ......

Beautiful do. Your hair grows fast. No curls? I still have wild curls but they may be gone after the next cut and I think I'm a year ahead of you. Bev

Thanks!
 

Thanks everyone for the nice feedback- I never thought I'd get to this point! Yes, I did/do have curly hair (not as curly as at first), but my hairdresser straightened it out. Its always been very thick and frizzy, and always been a battle. Now, its still thick, but a lot finer and straightens much easier. A lot lighter too. She said she didn't have to foil it nearly as much. I asked her, "Are you sure that its lighter, and not just alot grayer?!" :-) Good grief, some days I feel like I skipped over forty years and I'm eighty!!!!! HA HA

Love, Kelly

Kelly
WOW...love the new hairdo! Gives me somethng to look forward to! The stress and pain of the last year does not show on your face at all....I have to agree with the others...marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly,

Gad, love your hair! I've been waiting VERY anxiously to get to the point where I could have my first hair cut and style, but it's still too thin (*sigh*) now... 8 months after chemo. Yours looks so good -- it's giving me hope (*smile*).

Kelly, That looks really nice. I absolutely love your haircut. I've been meaning to get mine cut for a while now but haven't decided what to do with it? After looking at yours...I think I am going to get a move on and make an appt.
You said it may seen trival...HA! Having our hair back, and ENOUGH to actually do something with it...is no small thing. That is really a nice style on you...very flattering. You must feel like a million bucks. You go girl. :)

Your do looks wonderful. Its so nice to finally have a real style. The pix of me here is about 3 months after I could get a real style (time to update now I guess) but its so nice Kelly.

Especially when the "baby" hair is finally gone.

Beautiful hair on a beautiful girl.

Kelly,

You look so good!!!! Your do is very new and Victoria Beckman- except it looks better on you. Very pretty, try to keep the stares away

I had curls afterwards. When I got my first real cut after a year, my eyes swelled up with tears, could not hold it back. The lady who cut it, had also been the original that trimmed it short before it all fell off.

Lots of love.

You look great with your new haircut. Congratulations on your new milestone!

Kelly, You look FABULOUS! After losing my hair twice, and then thinning to almost nothing after Navelbine (all in almost 4 years) I am looking for a haircut as pretty as yours, and maybe even some color to boot! Love, Vickie
