    Yeah, some women can wear the super short hair and look great. Me? *shudder!* Hang in there ladies, one day soon you'll feel the wind in your hair again and it will feel WONDERFUL! I have to say, it truly feels like this:

    I stopped wearing my wig on Sun. ha finally warm enough to go without it in Iowa lol. I swear my hair has really started to grow in the last 3 days and  I think the wig was slowing it down. Anyway YEAH !!!! I will post a new pic soon.

    IowaSue- I thought the same thing about the wig stunting my hair growth.  I would be curious to find out if it does.  It is getting hot here in Ohio too.  Well, at least hot enough that I am sweating like crazy under the wig.  I sure wish I could just be brave and go without.  Maybe in a month or two.

    Do you wear a wig liner? I found it to help with the hot wig... I still get super hot, but it is better than without the liner... and I went to St John for 10 days for vacation and decided while there I wouldn't wear the wig during the day cuz its just too hot, so I wore bandanas the whole week... and my hair for sure grew in that period and that was between my 3rd and 4th treatment.

    I thought the same thing...more air more hair.  It actually got warm enough for me to sit on the deck and get some sun.  I t felt like if I watered and sunned my head it would grow like the spring flowers. LOL

    I believe this too. The more I take the wig off the more my hair seems to flourish.

    Cute Lago!

    I'm going to second the idea that BC only happens to hot chicks. This is a surprisingly "hot" group!  Go, girls.

    First trim tomorrow.  I'm so excited, I've already cried a little about it even though I'm not really sentimental.  I can't believe what I've been through!

    Have a beautiful weekend, everyone.

    Don't worry about the hair growth--mine was thin and male-pattern for a long time.  Now, I have a pretty lovely luxurious head of Annie curls.

    Mine hair is filling in but it's still thinner on top/front  than sides/back. Male pattern baldness of a 20 YO male right now? Tongue out

    Yipes - not a good trend.  All of my tiny sprouts are back and sides too - I can't detect anything top and front despite obsessively checking twice a day with a 7X mirror.  How pathetic.

    Sue,

    Looking great!  Thanks for posting.  Is that your own color?  Your brows look good too.

    my hair was light prior to chemo, this is the color it is coming in. I normally have caterpillar brows do when the fell out they finally looked normal. They are coming in thick again. Here is a picture a year before chemo, my oldest daughters wedding.

    My hair was light prior to chemo, it is coming in dark. I normally have caterpillar brows and dark when they fell out they finally looked normal. They are coming in thick again. Here is a picture a year before chemo, my oldest daughters wedding, all 3 of my girls.

    I am a natural blond and the hair I do have went from blond to white.. so I cut it to 1/8 inch and missed some spots that were a little longer and i actually changed color... How odd is that? I can see it growing out a different color but this hair was already on my head.

    Thanks ladies, I dont see the same person in the before pic ,when  look in the mirror I don't recognize myself between the hair, no hair and wigs plus the extra weight. Yes I'm glad its not grey. It really feeks like fur.

    Sorry I didn't realize I posted it 2 xs. Have a great weekend ladies.

    Losing the hair is hard to take but after its gone you realize that its a small price to pay for life & being healthy. It grows back.
