Oh, I will say it again Kimber, the people on this forum are fabulous. Thank you for your support and encouragement. I truly feel I can make it through this and hearing it from those who have been there confirms this. I keep telling myself that I have to go through a little train wreck but will walk away from it when it is all done. I had what was remaining of my hair shaved off tonight by my wig guys and I have to say it was quite liberating. I felt like I looked so sick with what little hair I had left so seeing my head shaved was actually a relief. Now I just look bald and it really is an improvement. My wig came out great, looks just how I looked before I lost my hair. They did an amazing job. They use this theatrical lace under the hair so it looks like your natural scalp in the part and at the forehead it just looks like it is coming right out of your scalp. But I have to say, with full make up on, I truly didn't mind the bald look and that was a surprise to me. Thank you for the offer of your number and email and if I feel the need I will definitely let you know. Thanks for being there for me. I think I am, no, I know I am okay for now. I appreciate all your help.
