hair - redux

yeah, today i feel the first signs of the hair falling out - i'm on the verge of tears constantly, even though of course i was expecting this, and i was even expecting to feel this way, i still feel unprepared to cope.

I have scarves galore, i have an appointment with the American Cancer Society for my 2 free wigs, i have confidence somewhere inside me, but i still want to cry, and i still don't want it to happen.

i also have a beautiful silk pillow case that my friend Christina from My Soul to Keep gave me, supposed to be good for all this

PS did you know the Amercian Cancer Society will give cancer patients 2 free wigs with a fitting and everything? AND they also offer Look Good, Feel Better program which includs a free makeup kit, to help with makeup & stuff durinig treatemt? Look it up, it's awesome

  1. I think you also need to acquire a pink wig just to wear to cheer yourself up sometimes. If you want, I'll take you shopping for one!

  3. Nanette, thanks for sharing. You know your friends & family love you no matter what. Natural hair (that will grow back), wig or scarf. Besides you could really have fun with the wigs.
    Namaste ~G

  6. I third, or fourth, or whatever, the 'fun with wigs' part! Go all out, but definitely include a pink bob :-) And get some sparkly fake lashes to match. Just glue them on tight, just in case there are some tears :-(
    And remember it is a fact that tears contain stress chemicals, so let them all out, you really will feel better afterwards :-)
