I had 2 large bald spots on either side of my head…
so I decided to go on and get a “mohawk”, or as much of one as what was left of my hair would allow…
Mom and I went to Maribel’s again – that should go without saying by now…
Later, we went to Christine & Rob’s, where Christine helped Mom to dye my mohawk strip a neon blue.
It was a busy evening… Good times with breast cancer…

My hair is falling out fast and furious now, so I went and got a buzz cut after work today at Maribel’s Great Cuts. It was pretty emotional… I tried to be light hearted about it, everyone reminds me that this is temporary, that it will grow back…but still…

Got my first large bald spot this evening. Getting ready for bed and brushed my hair… got a large clump in my brush.

I know I’m gonna loose my hair. Damn Chemo. Might as well have “a lil fun”…
Decided to dye my hair Hot Neon Pink. Have always wanted to do something “crazy” like this, just never had the nerve. Now I don’t need the nerve.
I checked with Tom, my boss at work, to be sure that there’d be no issue with my doing this. He is So Awesome. He told to to Go Ahead, to do what I needed to do to get through the situation. Very Supportive.
Mom helped with this…

Mom and I went to get my hair touched-up. I just didn’t like it as it was initially, but I really do like it as it is now. I’m surprised cuz I’ve been a long-haired girl for so many years…
A shame it takes cancer to get me to change my hair style…

I was told that my hair would start to fall out 17 days after the first chemo. That puts it around March 28. I decided to get my hair cut after work today, to get ready. I’ve had long hair most of my adult life, long hair has been part of my identity, so this will be a big change for me – to go through the loss of my hair.
I had a local hair salon – the one I use for trims – cut it short. Maribel’s Great Cuts. I Really like this salon, been going there for several years. Maribel is the owner, and her Mother and Sister, Nancy, work with her. Nancy usually cuts my hair, as she understands that – despite my age – I prefer long hair, and she treats me accordingly.
I went with Christine & Rob – they took pictures…
So… it was done. A shoulder-length “bob”. I’m not quite sure how I like it, it’s a bit too “helmet head” for my taste. Might need to have it touched up a little…
I always thought simply cutting my hair short would be a big shock, but now the prospect of loosing it entirely looms ahead. I hope it’s not too difficult to accept.
Not like I have a choice though…
