Today I started to lose my hair. After two weeks of chemo. It's exactly how I read it would be. I was abit shocked at how much the morning shower has taken off. The comb has done it's share too. Sadly I stared at all the hair on the bathroom floor. As I ran my fingers through my hair, strands of hairs goes with it. It's just a matter of time until I get completely bald. I will certainly miss my hair. To go through this eventuality is scary and nerve wrecking.
I am glad I can share my fears openly to my family and friends. They are very supportive and encouraged me that it's alright to be scared and that it does not change who I am to them. After releasing the fear comes acceptance. What will be will be. I'm ready.

ReplyDeleteAnd courage to face our fear.
I believe your courage to face your fear makes you reach within you to find another strength, April.
