    "So... what do you think?  How soon before I can pull off the topless look?"

    How long? Right now. You look very cool.

    Does anyone have any experience with Carbo and Gemzar.  I have a nice coverage of hair now, (I haven't gone topless yet though), and I'm curious if the Carbo and Gemzar will slow down my growth.

    Thanks for any info on this,

    Denise

    I did it! Went topless at panera and then the grocery store. So I decided I'm done. No more wig! I'm not thrilled with my short hair but I'm gonna wear it proudly!

    I will post pics later when I'm on my laptop not my phone!

    yeah MamaV!  I didn't love my short hair at first, but now I am 21 weeks out, I am starting to love it!  So much easier to care for.  I do wear a beanie when I go out in the cold though.  Cannot wait to see your pics!!!!

    I am happy for you, MamaV.  It feels great to stop wearing your wig.

    WoooHoooo way to go mamaV- So proud of you.... Ive been going topless since day 1 bought a very nice wig but my goodness I kept pulling it off as I would get too HOT and it would freak people out to see me with hair one min and none the next, made a few people do a triple take hahahaha so it was a ballcap or nothing.....

    Wouldn't it be fun if we could figure out how to create a photo album with all our pictures at certain intervals?

    Wow MamaV, your hair looks great. It really suits you. Is that your "natural" hair colour?

    MamaV, you do look great!  Is that a chemo curl wave or did you have curly hair to start with?

    OMG!  Looks EXACTLY like my hair right now!  Same color, texture and length!  I use a little gel at the crown for height, big earrings, red lipstick - my goal is to make it look like a CHOICE.  lol!  as if!!

    I was so excited to figure out how to post, I should have included more detail...

    This is my normal color.  I've never colored my hair - luckily never had any grey at 41!

    This is also my normal texture.  I've always had wavy hair - often straightened it when it was long.

    And, finally, I have not trimmed it anywhere! 

    You gals are the best ... give me confidence to face the world like this!
