I’ve had a haircut! I’ve had a haircut!

OK – so a trim may not be a big deal, but it’s nice to have the option.  I did the bald chemo thing for the first few months of my treatment. Then as they changed the doses my hair started growing back. It’s softer than before, less red in it, and more white. And then there’s the bald patch at the back.  It’s been growing back for a few months now, but the roots have been so weak that I was shedding like a cat each night which has left me with a thin patch where my head rubs the pillow.  Judging by my dad it’s only about 25 years early – so I have hopes that it’s only temporary and I will be back to hairy again in due course.

And of course I’m now beardless and shaving my chin again – which I haven’t had to do for close to fifteen years. And Kira is learning to complain about me being ‘spiky’ – changes, changes.
