Chemotherapy Cycle 2, Day 4
Today my hair started to fall out. It was frizzed up all over the place and I ran my hands through it. It fell out in handfuls.
Since my diagnosis, my hair has gone from long, black hair, to short black, then pink, then purple. Purple was the end-game.
My scalp started burning 6 days ago. The feeling of hair follicles dying feels like sunburn on my scalp.
I ordered a bunch of fun, cheap wigs. If I can't have real hair, why not have fun with the fake hair?
As of 4/21, the bald spots began. No matter how mentally prepared and positive I've tried to be, I still cried. The feeling of the hair falling out is very itchy and irritating. The sight of real bald spots all over my noggin is traumatic.
