Well, after much thought, I decided to take the first step with my hair. I wanted it to be MY doing and not the chemotherapy. I cut it to my shoulders and lo and behold it doesn't look half bad I guess. :0
My hair stylist, Jessica (thanks Jess!) had a harder time cutting it than I did making the decision. When she started, she cut an inch, then one more, and I said, "Jess - that's not even close to the shoulders, honey"......and after I explained that I needed this for me to get used to the idea, she finally said, ok...and she did a great job on the cut itself. Now, if only the nose weren't so big....lol I'm KIDDING. It's my Polish heritage and I'm keeping that! ;)
On a serious note, I think my son is finally coming to grips with this. I've been very worried about him but last night he sent me a text, "Mom, YOU are #1, and no matter what, I'm right here with you - whatever it takes" or words to that effect. It brought tears to my eyes and touched my very soul. Thank you, son......

I had hair down nearly to my waist - pre chemo. Three weeks before I started chemo I got it cut short. Then when it started to fall out - exactly two weeks after my first chemo, I hung my head over a trash can and went wild with a pair of scissors. Then I stuck a little cap on and was good to go. I wore a wig going out but a cap at home. I like your hair cut!
