1 day to go for 3 of 8 treatment

So I am enjoying my last day of good health before they make me sick again :(

John took to my head with the shaver again, so we got a bit closer to the scalp on the hair that is left.  It hurts if it's too long and sticks in to whatever you are wearing on your head like a prickle! So he too was very brave and sheered me like a sheep. I forgot to mention that I look like George Calombaris with no hair!!! Lucky I like his cooking.

The past 3 weeks of shaved head and wig wearing does come with some benefits.....

1. it takes me 5 seconds to do my hair in the morning, I just pop it into position and brush it a bit
2. no more hair stuck in the shower drain
3. you dont have to move your hair off your face when putting your makeup on or brushing your teeth - there's no hair
4. I have more things in common for conversation with my friends' bald husbands......"so how often do you shave?  what size blade do you use? what kind of shampoo and conditioner do you use?" LOL
5. I can try new hairstyles, both in wigs and growing back into different styles (I would never have cut it this short normally!!!!)

Still, windy days always make me nervous.....you can see the edge of the wig when it blows off your face in the wind.  It hasnt blown off completely like I thought it would, so that's a good thing!!

I went wigless in public for the first time, at the snow.  I had beanies upon head caps so there was no need to. I looked like everyone else on the Mountain.

With treatment no. 3 tomorrow, I decided to mentally say goodbye to my little troublemaker tumours.

So I drew them out based on the measurements provided from the MRI, so I could get a good visual on the 6 little b#$%ards!

Here they are against a 5c piece (the biggest ones are considered average in size, not big, not small). With cancer it is more about what they are made of and how slow growing they are. Fortunately for me they are oestrogen receptive and slow growing:

I think I will give them all their own names....but not ones that I could publish on this blog! :)

Thanks Kumar for the cartoon inspiration  ;)
