Dealing with hair loss

I am mostly bare headed at home because it has been a hot humid summer.  I wear hats, scarves, or wigs in public.  I try to have fun with it and have quite a collection mostly from the TLC catalog.

I wore cotton bandanas at home and would only wear my wig when I went out in public.  During the winter, I found wearing the fleece caps better.  I would even wear it to bed to keep my head warm.

I wear my "good" wig to the office and church, my "backup" wig for small shopping trips, or on vacation.  I go bare-headed at home, or wear a cap if my head feels cold.  Once I went out in public without any head-covering, because I actually forgot about my loss of hair.  Hubby didn't see anything amiss with me going out that way, and it was only when I realized folks were looking at me somewhat strangely (but not unkindly) that I remembered! My hair is very sparse, and now totally white, and therefore my pink scalp shines through the short (stand-up straight!) hair left on my head.  Hope it does grow back at some stage...

Hummie,

I had my last chemo the end of Sept 09.  At first it doesn't feel like it's growing, but all of a sudden you'll notice it growing back everywhere.  It took until the end of February (5 months) before I felt comfortable not wearing a wig to work.  It looked like a short, curly pixie style.
