I have been MIA… my deepest apologies. I consistently break the golden rule of newsletters, which is to write in advance. Unfortunately, life has just been so stressful since my daughter has been sick, and I have not been able to think straight. It’s one thing when we’re sick… but when it’s them it’s like a dagger through your soul. I have every intention of being back to our regularly scheduled programming by the weekend.
sending healthy vibes to all!!
Wow 🥹 my heart is full. Thank you for those that took a chance and joined our inaugural group tonight. It was everything I dreamed of and more 🌟. Just off the top of my head we covered personal experiences of:
🔹impact of diagnosis/treatment on marriage/relationship
🔹talking to our kids about cancer, how we framed it/how our children responded
🔹identity loss as it pertains to friendship/community post diagnosis
Future topics we really want to cover are
🔸 how to manage parenting boundaries whe…
When did your hair stop falling out post-chemo? I cold capped as well, probably lost 75% of my hair still. I’m now 2 months/1 week out from my last treatment and still shedding a bit (not terribly anymore). When did you start to notice that your hair was growing back?
My eyebrows and lashes are almost fully back which I’m sooo grateful for- nothing worse than that making you look sick- but still waiting for my head to grow 🫠
Could not agree more, the eyebrows and lashes were a godsend. The worst shedding was 5 weeks post final chemo, but I’d say I continued seeing a lot of hair breaking for months after. The new hair grew in rapidly and started around where you are now- probably 8 weeks. And when I could see that the quality of the new hair was eclipsing the chemo hair, I felt better about the pixie. I have really grown to love it now that I know how to manage it.
