I went to chemo school on August 16th ; there
were three of us. One lady with lung
cancer, one with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and me.
I feel for these ladies. One
started chemo on the Friday following class. One started chemo on the next Monday. Me, I have the “luxury” of time. I start chemo on September 8th.
That seems so far away, but it’s actually in one week. So much to do, and so much to
research. Will I lose my hair? Should I get a cold cap? Does it matter – is my hair a point of vanity? It will grow back – probably gray (I am 52),
probably thinner. This bothers me. I want to hang onto my youth. My hair has been a signature feature. Ego...all ego. Let it go.
You have such beautiful hair! and all your knitter friends want to make you hats
ReplyDeleteHey Patty, At 55 I am also grappling with aging, turning gray, and losing my youth. I am really trying to identify things I see in other older women - in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond - that shine as beautiful like humor and optimism. Staying current and open to new ideas. And maybe a few cute, new outfits!?
