Hi Kriss,

I just came home from my first chemo - they told me it would be about 2 weeks when my hair would fall out - I know what you mean - I had a modified radical Dec. 18th, and I knew that would not bother me as much as the hair will. (kinda crazy?) I am prepared for it - I bought 2 wigs - one curly (how I normally wear it), and one straight - when I get it blown dry for special occasions. I will have it buzzed in about 10 days, hopefully before any clumps out.

I think it is because the hair is so "visual" - I already bought a great breast prosthesis that no one would ever know which side is real and which isn't. I have always worn my hair longish - so having no hair will be hard. But it will grow back - just remember that - and you will be cancer free (hopefully) as well.

Lots of love,
Caya in Canada ( a future baldy)
