#56 - Don't Like the Hair Countdown

When Will It Go?

So my hair is supposed to fall out pretty soon. They said it would start 10-14 days after chemo starts.  It just sort of hit me the other day, when a friend asked about getting together over the weekend. I wasn't sure why I felt hesitant. I then realized it was the hair thing that was hanging over me.  I decided to keep my weekend open, in case it starts falling out and I need to deal with some hair drama.  

It felt odd to suddenly realize the next time I see my doctor or my book club or my neighbors or my kids... my hair might be gone.  It sort of put me on edge, so I needed some control. I texted my book club and said I'd be hanging around on Tuesday morning if anyone wanted coffee.

And that's all I did.  I made a pot and people helped themselves... and some surprise muffins arrived. Usually our book club meets at night and we drink wine, not coffee and water.  But we laughed as hard as we do at our night gatherings.  And we took the photo to send to our book club friends who are out of town, or have moved away.  I showed off my wig, (not in photo) but mostly we talked about other things.  And that was the best part.
