Rant on Kriss!
It's awful to lose our hair no matter how we think we might be prepared. It's a bit harder to pretend "cancer isn't happening" to us when our hair falls in the shower floor! But your post chemo hair will be so precious. Mine is now the third color. Changed with the last chemo and then again since then. They told me it is my practice hair and not to get too attached.
Let each falling of your hair make you fight even harder.
God bless you on this tough day.
