My Hair Regrowth And that's A Sign Of Life!

They do say you appreciate the simple things a lot more with cancer.  For the first month of my 2nd set of new medicines, I wore a different wig. My family and close friends thought it was great when I showcased Blondie, Sportie, Cutie, and Kikay around (I put names on my wig). But the wigs were hot and uncomfortable if you don't have any hair at all and I feared I was slowing my hair growth by covering my scalp. So I ditched the wigs unless I have official important appointments. It took me weeks to pluck up the courage to stop wearing my wig (also hot and itchy) around, but eventually, I unveiled my naked scalp with my uneven sprouting hairs and bald crown and skulked self-consciously around our home avoiding people’s gaze. One of my sissies used to call me via FB with a camera, she requested to me to please always put on my hijab since she's not used to seeing me as a talking egg. Hehehe. Braving my head was terrifying. Thanks to my compassionate Oncology Doctor for sharing
