But for now, there's still a little fringe on top to mix in with the wig hair.<BR/><BR/>This stage is such a blatant reminder that I am indeed getting chemotherapy for cancer. No way to avoid the harsh reality. <BR/><BR/>Together with the alien-from-another-planet look, it's very demoralizing.Ceilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761491293208369259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092591821992848540.post-78857970519320471692007-07-18T01:18:00.000-04:002007-07-18T01:18:00.000-04:00FWIW Barbara decided to just cut it and shave it a...FWIW Barbara decided to just cut it and shave it all off instead of waiting for her hair to fall out in clumps. She said the angst of seeing it on her pillow was much worse than just seeing herself bald all of a sudden.SeattleSusieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616760027816884206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092591821992848540.post-18525964715171125492007-07-17T16:18:00.000-04:002007-07-17T16:18:00.000-04:00Funny you should mention that...

I asked my doctor about it yesterday. <BR/><BR/>"Will I lose the hair on the rest of my body?"<BR/><BR/>"You'll be pretty much hairless."<BR/><BR/>"How about my eyebrows?"<BR/><BR/>"No. For some reason, Abraxane doesn't remove eyebrows."<BR/><BR/>Not that it makes that much difference in my case. The hair on my arms and legs is very light and thin and virtually unnoticeable. I shave my legs about twice a year. And that is more for how it makes them feel than how it makes them look.<BR/><BR/>My eyebrows are very light too. But at least having the hair remain gives me something to apply powder to.Ceilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761491293208369259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092591821992848540.post-84190197657962676512007-07-17T15:49:00.000-04:002007-07-17T15:49:00.000-04:00The mom of a good friend of mine had breast cancer...The mom of a good friend of mine had breast cancer. I remember distinctly a funny story she told me about losing her hair. She woke up one morning and there on the pillow was her eyebrow. <BR/><BR/>You always think about losing the hair on your head, but you lose all of it. My mom loved the fact that she didn't have to shave her legs all summer.Toni M.
