    Thank you
    Thank you so much. I hid behind hats and wigs for awhile but decided it is what it is. I never dreamed I would be running around bald in public. I believe exact words were "I Would Never". LOL A few hot flashes and you get over that real quick :) Thanks Again RaeAnn

    It comes back Beautiful!
    I have a fulll head of hair 6 mo. post chemo (Cytoxan, Taxotere). Finished my cheom 11/08 will finish the Herceptin 9/09.
    I shaved all my hair off day 12 post first chemo... when the "fall-out" began by the thousands. I had to take control and I did. I wore a wig, baseball cap, silly knit caps, scarves and nothing....just depended on my mood and phase of hot-flashes!!
    When it came in... I had fishing line too... totally clear/white/gray...platinum whatever you call it. When it got 1/2" long I bought a cheap bottle of Clairol and covered the Platinum... you know it's more valuable than Gold : )
    Once it got to about 1" long -- I could see my normal "brownish/Platinum" coming in and I was oh so glad to see mousey brown... but to my amazement it had CURL..... it was previously Poker Straight...

    I got my first "hair-cut" 2 wks ago -- I took in a picture of JamieLee Curtis and asked Lisa if she could shape my hair like Jamie's... she said sure... I left feeling like a million bucks.. : ) Somedays, I spike it with gel other days I towel dry it and just shape the curls as it dries... I love it both was. Either way I win... it's EASY!
    Enjoy it -- It will come in full, thick and beautiful. Maybe I appreciate it more because it had been gone all winter long.
    Hugs - Joannem65
