It Begins
Mark this date -- 17 days after round 1 of Chemo, my hair has begun falling out....
I shaved it before chemo, almost three weeks ago, so I have about a quarter inch of fuzz up there now, which is quickly bailing on me. So weird, running my hand over wipes it right off. It's like a Nair commercial without the Nair.
The timing is a bit unfortunate. I'm sitting at my desk at work, and OF COURSE I didn't bring a hat today. Looks like I'm going to have to sport the au-natural chemo look for the rest of the afternoon. Otherwise I'm not so bummed about losing my hair, it was on its way out before the chemo, and what little I had before will likely grow back.
I just wish it could have been a bit more subtle. Cancer is so inconvenient.

hey tim-
when my great-aunt had chemo a few years ago, her straight red hair came back strawberry blond and curly.
i think this is a documented scientific fact, that your hair will change. you may wake up one day to find yourself a brunette. like one of those haircolor commercials with sarah jessica parker.
