Bald As A Badger - Well Almost

Yesterday morning I awoke with what resembled a full head of clipped hair. My hair had been falling out all week but was still looking pretty good. Well that was until I had a shower last night. Let's just say I looked like a moulting dog by the end of my shower. More hair was blocking the plug hole than left on my head. I couldn't stand it, hair was falling on my collar, down my back etc.

I got out of the shower and asked Jason to shave my head. Kady took photos whilst Leah looked on telling me how weird I looked lol. Quite monk like don't you agree. I still have fine stubble over most of my head and yes it is freezing. I have decided I don't like the bandana's as they just don't seem to fit right. I hope I get used to them. Might have too look for some cool caps etc. I need something soft.

Still fighting a bad throat and cold. Doctor has put me on antibiotics. I am hoping my white blood cells are up by tomorrow and chemo will still go ahead on Tuesday. After Tuesday I will be 1/3 (2 down 4 to go) of my way through the chemo side of things. Wish me luck that they will let me go ahead with it even if I am still feeling sick. (ahhh hate the double chin oh and the pics in the bathroom are all my own macro photos from our garden).

Hi Dawn,
Sorry to hear about your throat, hope that you get some rest and are feeling better tomorrow, so that your chemo can go ahead as planned. You must be feeling pretty cold today, wonderful to see you smile through it all.

Dawn, you have a great head!!! I think you look terrific bald. I had a hard time shaving my head, but it's not so bad now. I kind of like the lack of blow drying and washing it in the shower. It makes it easy to get up and go in the morning. Sorry to hear about you feeling under the weather. I hope the chemo can still go on as planned. Thank you for all of your support over the past couple of days. Love Ya...VAL Beck
