I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I colored my hair as soon as there was enough to color and my oncologist and nurse both said to go for it. My skin has changed and I feel I have aged through my year and a half since being diagnosed. I had to laugh when you said you see your grandmother looking back at you when you look in the mirror, not because it is funny, but because everyone tells me I look more and more like my grandmother and I never use to get that before cancer. She was a great lady and I am happy to resemble someone of her stature however, it's not what you want to hear right now when you feel you have lost how you use to look. Color your hair and go for a make up consultation and do whatever else it takes to perk you up. You deserve it.
