It's time to shave my head!

I have an appointment scheduled on Saturday to get my head shaved. It's none too soon, since today I have started to "shed." No clumps yet, just hair coming out very easily whenever I touch it.

I'm kind of looking forward to getting it done and over with. If ever there was a time to get your head shaved, the middle of summer would be it.

The down side is that it's screaming to the world, "Hey! I have cancer and I'm going through chemo!" I realize there are other reasons that women are bald, but I'm pretty sure the first thing that pops into people's head is "CANCER." So, taking the bus to work should be interesting to say the least. Now I'm going to be the one that people covertly stare at.

It's all right though. It really is. I've got other things on my mind and I have stopped worrying about what people think about me. After all, what you think of me is none of my business!

I remember shaving my head. I left mine until I had just a little ponytail left at the back of my head! I wish I did it sooner though.
I hated the thought of people staring at me too, I didn't like the idea of them feeling sorry for me and thinking "Aww, that poor girl has cancer" - people would look at me and some would give me that sympathetic look but I just kind of didn't notice after a while!
I wore zandana's most of the time, they're basically bandana's but easy to tie as I can't tie bandana's at all! amazon.com sell them for a really reasonable price :)
