As my oncologist predicted, my hair has started to fall out. I’m
going to the beauty salon in Salem that accepts hair donations
from people undergoing chemo. A lot of those places do not take
“old” hair, but this one does. We will probably go tomorrow.
And I still adamantly refuse to wear a wig. Hats? That’s another
story. I have lots and lots of hats.

I figure that my hair will grow back by the time I’m 72 or so.
Four years is enough to grow it nearly as long as it is now.

Meantime, our mailbox arrived yesterday, and Bryan is going to
install it this weekend as well. I really hope that whatever he does
to theft-proof the thing works.

You may lose a lot of of it or just some. Lynn's hair was very long and we cut it to shoulder length when it started falling out. She never lost it all and could pull it back so that it looked as though there was no hair loss for those that didn't know.

Remember, for every hair that falls out, the cancer is being removed.

Prayers for you and Bryan. Keep the faith.

Sorry about your hair. It’s like a visual reminder of what’s happening.

Winter is not an easy time to lose hair, but hats work wonders. I’ve seen some very soft, warm pretty hats lately that were sported by those with and without hair. This site has some great styles and fabrics:

Hats ain't bad TOL, that's how I been solving my little follicly challenging male pattern baldness problem for 35 years, LOL.

Stetson on: "That old coot needs a haircut".
Stetson off: "That old coot is bald".

Stetsons rule :)

Seriously, that's not important, you continuing to get well is what counts.
