hair

If I needed a graphic reminder of what's going on with my body then I had it this morning. Brushing my teeth last night I noticed a bit of hair in the sink and ran my fingers through my hair and quite a bit came out. Up to this point I think I had persuaded myself that maybe I would be one of the few that chemo doesn't effect through hair loss. I was wrong.

Knowing something is going to happen, and then watching it before your eyes are two very different things. 

In the shower this morning I just stood there while the tray filled with hair. On inspection when I got out you would never know but obviously now the process has started it won't take long for the rest to go. Need to make an executive decision to get the clippers out and take it back to a grade 2 and see what that looks like, with a view to shaving it all off if it's too patchy.

Today's picture may be the last hairy one for a while.

Thanks to S.Stevens of Greenwich for suggesting these hairy alternatives.
