Looks GREAT
I see you have eyebrows and eyelashes too. Cannot wait. All I have is about a quarter inch of fuzz, no brows and no lashes. Just had my last chemo on Friday. My hair used to grow fast, hope it still does.
Thanks for posting the pic.
Hugs to you

Good for you!
It looks great! Mine looked like that, too, 3 mos. after chemo. It's now 5 mos. after and it's really growing fast! I'm sure yours will, too. I stopped wearing scarfs in February but felt funny going out in public w/o. Now, I only wear a hat when I go outside because it's darn cold here in Michigan!!
Congratulations, Pitt!0 -
Pitt, you look gorgeous!!!!
Pitt, you look gorgeous!!!! My hair is just a little bit longer and I am into week 2 or 3 of no scarves, etc. Once you get used to it, and everyone else does as well, you won't be so self conscious. I love the freedom and not having to match my outfit to my scarf. This is a cute story, just yesterday one on my co-workers who has been wanting to cut her hair very short finally did it. It is a little bit longer than mine but she said I gave her the courage to do it. So......there are positive results to bearing our very short hair do's.0 -

Yes - my eyebrows came back very quickly; my eyelashes are taking their time. I filled in the brows with a pencil for about 1 week and then didn't need it after that. My eyelashes are growing back but very slowly...1 month now and still very stubby. I decided early on to post these photos to my expressions page to document the transformation caused by cancer treatment. This is part of who I am now and I don't want to ever forget it.0 -
You look great!
But then, you look great to me in all the photos you've posted of your journey.
I just finished my last chemo on the 17th, and can't wait to get to the point you're at now. I'm hoping I have at least that much hair by the time hubby and I go on our cruise in June. It looks like I just might make it! I'll probably still need to wear a hat during the day to keep the sun off my head, but at least I won't have to wear a wig or hat at night.
Thanks for giving all of us baldies something to look forward to!

I love it!! So cute!
with Cindy, you have looked beautiful all along! I have the same amount of hair and sadly have to look forward to losing it all over again. Would you believe the grays came back all in the same exact places? No more, no less, just the same. It's darker too. Maybe this time it will come in no grays, lighter, & curly? lol One can hope...
Hugz,

You always look beautiful
You always look beautiful bald, short or long hair! I love your new do it looks so cute on you, and I do understand those baby steps.
I'm in the process of loosing my stubble again. It is coming out like my hair did back in Oct.I'm looking forward to having my hair back, but I'll need a lot of dye because I have way too much salt and very little pepper.0
