First day of Chemo 2/23/16
Just got port in few days prior to this 3/5/16.
Hair starting to thin 3/7/16. Best to keep it braided…it was a HOT MESS! Literally one day it just started coming out in lumps
Hair really thinning 3/15/16. This was obviously NOT a good day. Chemo was starting to get pretty rough at this point. And let me point out my head hurt from my hair coming out.
Got it shaved 3/30/16. Fuck that noise! Taking control of the situation.
Then it just fell out all over the place.. At least it was little hairs…..Just about gone 4/30/16. During this time there are no face shots of me bald because we had also just bought a house, moved and something had to give…so this is as good as that got.
5/30/16 next to the last day of Chemo – Losing eyebrows and eyelashes. The last few months were pretty rough. I should have taken a picture of my hands. They were brown and peeling…it was crazy.
6/30/16 a few days after surgery. I felt like one of those hairless cats….Looked like one too!!!! A month after chemo stopped and not a strand of hair on my body. These were probably some of the darkest days. 1 month post chemo
7/30/16 starting to come back. These were my weekly visits to the surgeon days. 2 months post chemo
8/30/16 Actual Hair coming in…feeling pretty bad ass about it. 3 months post chemo
9/30/16 Finally stopped wearing the scarf on my head. 4 months post chemo
10/27/16 Almost done with Radiation. Hair at strange awkward stage. 5 months post chemo
11/7/16 Last day of Radiation. Last day of Treatment
11/30/2016 6 months post Chemo. (Wednesdays we wear pink)
1/31/17 – 8 months since Chemo. Finally got it colored today! No cut though….
2/28/17. 9 months since Chemo. Hair looks darker than it really is here. Bad lighting!
3/30/17 10 months since Chemo. And 1 year since I got my head shaved! Still haven’t gotten it trimmed or anything…just colored. I am wearing a headband so it’s pulled back. But kinda feeling like a hippie.
4/30/17 11 months since chemo. I can almost braid parts of it. It’s out of control and crazy. I have not gotten anything trimmed or cut yet. Still not sure I’ll ever cut it again. The thickness is a little less than it was before but not real noticeable. It’s getting better. Still really curly. I actually blow it out to straighten it. I’ll have to get a “natural” picture. But nice to not have to really use a curling iron yet.
