9/4/20: (8.5 Months Post-Chemo) No More Hats!

For the first time since last November, I went out today without a hat!!

It felt amazing. I really felt just a little more like myself. 

I interacted with 5 people at my appointment today, and 3 out of 5 noticed and complimented my hair. Of course they will say something positive whether it looks good or not, but it just felt really great to be one step closer to having chemo behind me. 

My last chemo was December 20, so apparently it took over 8 months for my hair to grow long enough just to be held in place by a headband. Even now, without the headband, my hair pretty much sticks straight out. I am grateful, of course, that it is coming in thick and black!

The headband in the photo has pink flowers, it's my daughter's and not exactly my style. It fits well and stays in place, so I went ahead and ordered a few more simple headbands from the same business.

Yay!!
