…well today. I was originally told my hair would fall out 15-17 days after my first chemo treatment. Today is day 16. My hair loss is nothing if not punctual. I have always said, “I would rather have my hair turn gray than turn loose.” Well, it has turned loose. (with some chemical help) Boy, did it turn loose. I was pulling it out by the fistfuls today. It did not even hurt, just came right on out. I even thought about sprinkling some on my lunch just to get a free lunch, but thought otherwise. Debbi noticed a few new bald spots when I got home from work, so I broke out the clippers. I am not really interested in the ‘mange’ look.
The first thing I trimmed was any and all facial hair. Yep, that hair was loose too. I then ran the clippers across my head with the #1 attachment. Debbi helped me get the back and the left side. The bald spots were still pretty noticeable, and not looking too good. I took off the attachment and scalped myself. Once again, Debbi helped with the back and left side. What hair I have left is about 1/32” long. The bald spots are there, but do not look too bad. Now I can go out in public and not look too mangy. The stubble that I have will fall out in the next couple days, I have just helped it along and made it better looking. The final act was to blade shave my face, so it truly is smooth. Pics to follow shortly.
