Sophie and Jamison goofing around in my new wigs!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I know it has been a bit since I wrote and I apologize, don't want you to worry when I am not posting. I have had two chemo treatments of a different drug called Taxol. So far the side effects have been much easier to bear than the initial 4 treatments. Thank Goodness! The one I seem to deal with the most is fatigue so I sleep a lot! That and and some diarrhea but nothing Imodium AD can't handle! 10 more treatments to go. I am taking this week off since my Dad and step-mom are coming to town .
Our neighbor and cancer buddy Glen Gunter talked me into trying out some wigs which I had absolutely no interest in to begin with. Once I started trying them on, I felt normal-looking for the first time since I lost my hair. A couple of days prior to the wig-try-on, I had told my husband that when I look in the mirror, I hardly recognize myself anymore. There was some sadness about that.
When I wear the wigs, I notice that I no longer get stares! People constantly compliment me on my new hair style not realizing they are wigs. It's great! So I have decided to embrace it all and have fun with all the different kinds of fashions for the head! Wigs, wraps, beanies. Bring it on!
