No more bad hair days

One of the side effects of chemo is painful hair. It feels like someone is pulling on your hair or you have left your hair in a ponytail too long. It didn't start getting really bad until after my second round of chemo. I still have my hair. I had gotten it cut short in prep for chemo with the idea it would most likely fall out.

Instead, my hair grew. It's normally thick and I believe the hair growth was possibly weighing my hair down and causing the painful "pulling" feeling. My solution? Buzz it off. No more hair pain. I love it. My hair may eventually fall out and eventually will grow back. I have one less problem now. And I think I totally rock the buzz cut.

I only got to rock the buzz cut for a short time. Just a few days before my 3rd of chemo I noticed my scalp was becoming increasingly itchy and hair was falling out. During my chemo rest weekend, even more started falling out. Now I have always had thick hair, so I am sure this hair falling out thing it going to take awhile. It doesn't even look like much has fallen out but believe me, it 

And even more has fallen out. Every time I touch my head or wear a hat or scarf, more falls out.
