Thank you all so much. I did have my hair cut short before my mastectomy. Like you Steph, I thought it would help ease into it.

I will probably get it shaved this week. My hair guy said he would come to my house and do it. He's the greatest.

I may be wrong but I don't think the hair will bother me as much as not having one breast. I haven't been able to get my fake boob because of my incision problems. I think this is now under control and healing up.

The foobs that come with the camisole are no better than stuffing with toilet paper!

Of course my breasts are so heavy I don't think the fake one is going to match. I have so many clothes that I just can't wear and I'm struggling with that. When your chest is caved in it's hard to wear anything with a neckline.

They don't want me to do reconstruction until a year after rads due to the location of my tumors and they don't want anything in the way. So, I'm looking at 2011 before I can do that.

Although with my neck surgery in April, and then my mastectomy, facing more surgery right now just does not appeal to me either. So, it's probably for the best and I'll learn to deal with it. It's just been the hardest thing for me personally.
