Day Forty Two

My hair is starting to look very sorry for itself. I have noticed when I wash it in the morning that there is not as much to wash and when I blow dry it, it feels really light. I actually caught myself looking at my new hair this morning and thought that it looks nicer than my own does! I have decided that if mine does start to fall out spectacularly, I am going to shave it all off rather than wait for it to fall out. The plus side is not having to use as much shampoo, no hair down the plug hole and if my hair is starting to fall out, shows the chemo is working. All positive things. My sister gave me a lovely peaked cap which looks fabulous with my new hair. I think it will be a relief when it actually does go. And how about this for one of the most beautiful things anyone has ever done for me. My best friend, the friend who has attended all but one hospital appointment with me including my chemo session, has just bought me a present. She said close your eyes, and when I opened them, she was wearing a lovely pink hat. She said, "We are going to do this together" and presented me with one exactly the same - they are the new Cancer Research ones. I cried. Because of her and my other best friend, I have had a lovely day and I am feeling very happy!
