Well here I am, waiting patiently for the 21st of June when they're going to blast me with chemo. Strangely enough I can't wait to start-the sooner I do the sooner I finish I guess!
Don't know about anyone else out there but the whole thing is like being on a roller coaster!
I was cheered yesterday by a friend telling me about semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing. Great I thought, help if they do fall out. Then as soon as high is over I seem to very quickly slump. I mean, who wants to get excited by their eyebrows falling out?! Me it seems.
Ah well....keep telling myself things could be worse ( nobody mention Brazil)

I'm with ya... Yesterday up, today morose and scared of everything. I've found a temporary cure tho (short of a lobotomy...) blast the Ramones really loud until the neighbors start to bang on the walls. Yeah...I'm real mature...
Let's see, during chemo I lost the hair on my head, most of my body hair (frankly that was nice as I didn't need to shave my legs for almost 6 months) and my eyelashes thinned. But I kept my eyebrows. You just never know. And while I had straight thick blond hair before chemo -- it grew back tight-curled and very dark brown.
About 2 months into chemo you might initially be shocked to see your reflection in the mirror and wonder who is looking back at you -- but now three years later it is all a vague memory and I learned a great deal about myself in the process.
My loved ones kept telling me how beautiful I was -- and I have loved them more dearly and deeply than I thought humanly possible because of it. I didn't feel beautiful and I don't think I looked beautiful but they made me feel beautiful with their love. And something beautiful blossomed inside me that had not been there before.
I won't tell you its not going to be rough going but ultimately, everything will be okay and you will get your life back -- and your hair. And your eyebrows. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. with kind regards, Dalene
