So of course one of the well known side effects of chemotherapy is hair loss. My chemo starts on Wednesday and hair is expected to start falling out in 3 or 4 weeks. The nurse told me it was a good idea to have my hair cut fairly short before starting chemo so that it's less of a shock when it falls out. I have taken this opportunity to try a new hair cut! Because if I hate it a) I've got a wig as backup and b) it'll fall out in a few weeks anyway!! So who cares if it looks crap!
Post hair cut I am pretty pleased - apparently my hair now looks better than it did before (not sure whether this is an insult or not). However now feeling a bit bummed out that it's going to fall out in a few weeks (damn!).
Pictures to follow.......
