Garcon ! is that a hair in my soup ?

Well my hair is still progressively coming off since last Friday. It's mostly noticeable on my scalp at this stage, the hair roots actually hurt a bit as I run my hand through my hair as it breaks off. It's not the best look, kind of like a half plucked chicken is the best way I can describe it..

I want this blog to be an honest account of my journey so I've asked Vee to take photos of me through this ordeal as I want people to see exactly how bad it can get. Anyway I can joke about it now but I'd be lying if I told you it didn't bother me, I can't wait for all the hair to be gone, the transition stage is definitively an ugly stage.



Also I found this cheap T-shirt on the weekend, I probably wouldn't normally have bought it but I thought it was appropriate under the current circumstances.

You look tough! The sunnies definitely giving a different look to the beanie there.

I remember my mum was very sensitive over the hair issue. She always wore a wig - always - and everyone had to pretend she hadn't gone bald from chemo. It seems like such a small thing to worry about in the cold, hard light of day, but it really had an effect on her.

I hope, on the other hand, you can settle into your toughman look. Once the patchiness goes.
