Tuesday I started wearing chemo caps. When I brushed my hair that morning it was sparse and patchy. I couldn't go out like that and I had chemo II scheduled for 11 a.m. So I wore the first chemo cap I made. It looked a lot like the one above but it was all blue instead of the blue and pink above. I called it my fake blue wig. I liked it so did the adored oncologist. I do like my own hair better.
The timeline is my hair started falling out noticeable on 8/24/08, was noticeably sparse and hat worthy on the 9/2/08 and I chopped of the remaining wisps just an hour ago. I couldn't stand it, there was just abut a third to a fourth of my hair left and it just got in the way. So I chopped it off. It feels good but looks weird. Tomorrow I call the hair dresser and get a buzz cut. A buzz cut with pinky scalpy patches. Boy won't I look good.

You'll look marvelous!
You may even look like your beloved pigs from the rear if we attach a curly tail... Maybe Sweetie and I we can paint or draw on your scalp while we are at the beach! We could probably come up with something really interesting! I'll be sure to get some sharpie markers of a permanent nature in multiple colors! This could be a lot of fun and great advertisement for our artistic abilities!
I like the scull caps… Have you thought about making one with really long red yarn? Or maybe you could get some of those hair weaves and knit them in to give you a dreadlock look. Hey the skys the limit, all depends on the materials used…
What about a rag cap? Like those rag rugs? I can see you pulling that off and starting a whole new chemo hair trend! I think you should make several of the caps and take them with you for Chemo treatment You could start a small business doing something you love and reaching out to others in need.
Love ya hon! Ps – got your note – made me very, very happy!
Good Lookin
Hey Girl - Sweetie and I found a stamp that fit you perfectly. It was a quote that was made by an 8 year old girl....
If your feeling blue try paining yourself a different color!
Words of wisdom from an 8 year old!
Good Lookin (back at work)
