Hair Growing

                                             

First of all I feel rubbish!! Still nursing this chest infection and again just woke up from another marathon sleep. I think because I have an infection my body just can’t cope with too much.
Anyway to get back to my post. When I had radiotherapy back in July 16 to the brain I lost my hair. From this time it’s been growing in patches, it seems to be growing over most of my head now apart from the front. Losing your hair can be very upsetting particularly when I had a good head of hair to begin with.

Sometimes when your having good days if you didn’t look in the mirror life would feel normal, but when you look in the mirror the hair lose is a stark reminder that cancer is present. I can understand why people wear wigs particularly women. Your hair is part of your indentity and when cancer and its treatment takes this away it can be very stressful and adds to the list of other problems. 

But during this time there is something to remember that having a bald head is minor compared to what the worse case senareio could be. I think it maybe easier for men but not all men than women as men can have the excuse of losing hair naturally or just having a sort hair cut. 

My hair growing back is another one of those times when life seems to be getting back to normal, although what is normal anymore? To me there is no normal whatever happens on the day is life!
