In the midst of all the drama re the cost of herceptin - see previous posting only a few minutes ago - nearly forgot: I am no longer wearing hats! Yesterday at my sister took my hat off for the afternoon, last night slept without any covering (was too cold and itchy before to do so) and today arrived at first gym and now work without a hat/cap (the doctors do not count as they are used to people with/without hair).
It is very short but fine, I think. Might post a pic later.
Last had chemo on Tuesday April 14 so it's nearly three months. And it's still micro short! But in the scheme of things, to use the radiation oncologist's words (again, see previous posting), it's ok. Ag, the hair loss was a trauma, not going to deny it.
I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, where I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Thursday January 15 2009. This is my journey with cancer and other musings as surveyed - initially temporarily hairless - from under my hats.
