Thankyou all.
The hair is off!!

Tomorrow I will have a couple of wigs styled and they will be worn as and when I feel like it. They are the same length and colour as my original hair ( was!). But my what a shock! When I had primary BC and the hair went, I literally couldn’t look in a mirror.

Yesterday I marched straight into M&S for my I doughnuts! 🍩 and faced the mirrors.

This morning I’m thinking “ s**t” who am I??

Just plod on nas, another difficult step to recovery.  Really brave to go out and face mirrors.   Hope the wigs help when it all gets too hard to face.  X.

You've got a great attitude that will get you through this, Nas. Bloody difficult but keep up that sense of humour, it will help X

[Nas]

Forget the doughnuts; the scales say I’ve gained few pounds
( thought I was shrinking my clothes in the tumble!) 

Well, have saved myself a huge amount of time in the shower this am ( just as well, we are on a water meter!) Found an eye pencil, drew some brows and lashes ( kind of!) and am now  going to cut down a dead tree trunk.

Happy Sunday all 🌼🍩 x

This sounds spot on Nas!

Can I say - forget the scales and E joy the donuts for the time being.

Embrace the positives.

Embrace the positives. 

Indeed. Although they are fairly small ones right now

There could be a national shortage of doughnuts very soon!

Good on you Nas - as a fellow wig wearer (alopecia since teens) I hope you find some joy and lightness in exploring alternative hair.

You don't have to stick to what you had either - when I first started wearing wigs I went for the same colour and texture as I'd had naturally, but didn't really like it and later upgraded to the type of hair I'd always wanted.

They have also come on a lot over the years and no longer look like roadkill - I am open about the fact I wear wigs but nobody ever seems to notice unless I tell them. Even a dermatology nurse started to examine my "scalp" once

[Nas]

Ah bomb.. just the person then!
If I may ask, what type of wigs do you wear? Synthetic, human hair, hand tied, lace front, wefted?
I have worn a wig before with the first lot of chemo many years ago. It was very heavy as I recall. The wig I have chosen, is quite similar to my own hair colour and style, but wow, it would be pretty exciting to choose something off the beaten track!

Roadkill  Yes, my partners sister has alopeica and the wigs she wears, well it would take a LOT to move them!

If you have any wig info to share, I will be forever grateful ( and you can of course share my doughnuts if you wish  )

Thinking of you for tomorrow Nas with next chemo round. xx
