Dear Kriss
I also felt like I really had cancer when my hair came out. i remember i new it was going to and individual hairs kept falling out then i washed it ( I had very long ringletty , curl hair) and it went into a mass. i had to get my husband and daughter to cut the mass out a i was about to catch a bus to Canberra ( 5 hrs away) to visit a friend and then go to a counselling tarinig workshop in sydney.When i got to canberra my frined and i drank wine and cut my hair - she then sowed some of the ringlets onto a lovely hat I had( I am not a hat person - but what to do) and i wore that to the workshop. it was overwhelming and i feel for you.I felt very self conscious at the workshop as I wore the hat and felt identified as a cancer patient. It was 4 years ago but i still rmember the feeling.
Your husband sounds supportive as you speak of laughing together with him. I have found my husband to be my biggest survival support.You will get through this but i know it is difficult now. my thoughts are with you.
love
lindaw
