LOL at you all. And especially art-gallery Becky. I got diagnosed right after we moved into our new home. At the end of chemo, a neighbor had a block party. I was wearing my scarf- figuring everyone knew the deal by then. Another neighbor came up to me and apologized for not coming over to visit yet because she had a traumatic few months, a "breast cancer" scare that turned out to be nothing. I told her I was living breast cancer at the moment and she gasped and said she thought I was just "artsy" with my short (no!) hair and scarf! That got a good laugh from me.

My new hair was tennis ball fuzz that turned into salt and pepper and looked so thin with all the grey. I bought a no ammonia strawberry blond hair color- and it colored really nice- my avatar pic actually. It looked so much better to have a brighter color for awhile. My natural color did come back- but I am working the gorilla frizzies now. Help Brenda!! (head bands are my friend)

Nitewind,

You can help your skin from the inside- make sure you are drinking lots of water and if R.B. peeks at this thread- the recommendation would be to get your omega-3's- good for you and your skin!!
