Last time, I didn't lose all of my hair; this time I have. Last time, it was summer, so wigs were itchy and made me hot. I mostly wore scarves, which were much cooler than the wig I had. This time, it is colder and I have lost all of my hair; well, I shaved off the last few tufts that were clinging on. I am a bit braver and am enjoying trying all the different options, wigs, scarves and beanie hats!
I dug out my favourite scarf from last time and wore it like this:
Then today, I wore my long, dark wig, with a gorgeous red hat that the incredibly kind @JudeHanlon knitted for me!
This is me with my daughter Betty, (she has hair so long, she can easily sit on it). We were at an event at Pollyanna in Barnsley, where the wonderful Rita Britton made sure I had my make-up done as a treat.
It is the little things like this that help such a lot. Chemo is tough, I cannot lie, but taking little bits of pleasure and enjoying the positives that come along are important steps along the way.
PS. I promise to add a picture of my red graduated-bob wig soon!
