Remember this?? Bald from chemo & a black eye from hitting my eye with the Swiffer as I was cleaning??
Here's my hair today.
I hate my side profile..LOL (I've gained weight too!UGH UGH UGH)
These two bald spots are from the Gamma Knife when my 5 brain tumors were removed. I think the 2 largest were here & that's why I don't have 5 spots. It may be permanent, but my other hair will grow over them. I still have a red spot where the "crown" for Gamma Knife was screwed to my skull. I also have two tiny holes above each eyebrow.
Here's the top on my head..
The back of my head
Yep, I have hair..GRAY and GRAYER for now. Can you believe someone told me she liked my carefree hair??? LOL, she had no idea that I would NEVER EVER EVER cut my hair this short..I just said , thank you!! teehee

Oh, how wonderful, Deena! I'll have to put this page in my favorites and come back to it when I'm wondering if and when I'll ever have hair again. Most of mine came out in the last day or so. Just some stragglers left.

There's a woman in my exercise class that wears her hair that short and it's gray too. And it's adorable...on her and on you too. I agree with another commenter...get you some cool big earrings and enjoy your carefree hair.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry though you've gotten a summer cold. Yuk! I hope you're feeling better soon.
Hugs!

Hi Deena , your hair doesn't look bad at all. We are our own worst critic you know . When mine started to grow back like yours, I would towel dry it and put some stiff moose on it and comb it through and then lift it from my scalp with the comb and place it how I wanted it and let it dry in place. When it was dry I would run the pick through it and it would make it fluffy and not flat to my head. I hope this makes since to you .
ReplyDeleteHi Deena, you're looking good. Sorry to hear you're unwell. Speedy recovery soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Deena,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fast your hair has come back. Before you know it you will have luscious locks again. Sorry about the summer cold, hope you are feeling better real soon.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
Hiya Deena!!! Oh sweetheart, I do love your short hair!! My mom once told me that when we get older we tend to go short. Well, I am older now, 47, and have to tell you that I so enjoy my short hair. It really is so much easier to style.
ReplyDeleteDeena, I have a friend who went through chemo the other day for a brain tumor that has come back. She had the same treatment as you. You both are so very brave!!!
Love to you and have a wonderful new week, sweet friend!!! Duhgall sends his little scotty lovings your way. Hold out your toes and he will happily lick them for you!
love you,
Becky
Love the hair :-) and love even more that those 5 brain tumors are gone! xoxoxo Sherry

ReplyDeletethe 'do is looking good! and whoever complimented you on the easy carefree style was right - see you're a trendsetter now. p.s. weight gain or not, you look beautiful (do miss the black eye though).

ReplyDeleteHugs!

It looks lovely.....and yes, encourage those curls www.naturallycurly.com will have some great help.
ReplyDeleteWish mine would gray that nicely...I'm blonde and so it just gets..um, sorta no color at all.
Hi Deena,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your updated photo! And, I loved the way you pointed out the joy of using hair gel. It's not something I would have thought of.
Blessings...
The hair style looks smart! Was out of blog world for a bit and am only n
ReplyDeleteow catching up. Nice to see you're doing ok. Hope you get over your cold soon.
Even though you may not have chosen that "cut" it is very stylish and chic on you. I have always had straight hair with no body and your hair looks full of body and style. I think you look great. You look healthy and happy. Sorry about the cold and aches. Lots of love!
ReplyDeleteIsn't hair absolutely WONDERFUL! I said I would never have another bad hair day in my life. Mine was grey like that too...You need to be careful when you color it, they told me it is like virgin hair again. Anyways...the weight, I have talked to alot of chemo women and most gain weight. I just got the ok from my doctor to try Weight Watchers. They also won't let me try anything more drastic. My hubby sayd, so what, chubby but vertical!! That's a very good thing. Enjoy your short hair. I loved spiking mine when it was short. It was so easy. In fact, by hair will probably never be as long as it was...I like the simpleness of shorter. Yeah hair!!!
ReplyDeleteso sassy! before long it will be in your face and you'll need to have it CUT - AGH!!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great I REALLY MEAN that.....and your smile is still so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe bald spots will fill in but for now..you can use them to tell others about what you've been though and it will encourage them.
Plus you have all those great hats to wear in the Fall and Winter again so that's neat.
I'm so thankful your doing so well...
Oh don't feel bad about being a bit more "Fluffier" than you were before...it's the meds/chemo. I have had the same thing happen to me....and I do the best I can with it as well...pain or meds...pain or meds....hummm. Not a hard choice most days. Although I hate the blowing up effects. Oh well...
Hang in there!!
Your doing great.
Joyce
It looks great! You silly thing, trying to hide your profile! LOL! I think you look beautiful and I am so happy that it is growing in so great. I know you probably hate the weight gain, but I think that is probably a good, healthy sign. I sincerely hope you have a truly magical day today!
ReplyDeleteLove & Hugs, Sharon
Deena, girl - you look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBut that was quite a shiner you got of ... a swiffer?
You are treasure to so many and we are all praising God for your healing! ♥
You could not ask for better pictures!!! God is so good Deena!
ReplyDeleteBlessings~

Deena, I am so happy you have hair again. It is coming in thick for the most part. I'm so glad for you. It won't take long. You have the sweetest disposition and cute humor. Hugs, Kathi
ReplyDeleteDeena,
ReplyDeleteYou are in style now my friend. Lots of hair growing in and it looks great. You look beautiful, as always.
Love and hugs,
Mary
I like the hair growth. It seems thick and a good texture. Best Wishes.
ReplyDeleteDeena, you are beautiful. So, so happy to see you! Lots of hugs and prayers, Jann
ReplyDeleteDear Deena,
ReplyDeleteMy you look wonderful! Your hair is coming in so nicely. I love the cut and the grey looks pretty on you. My, you have come so far. I am so happy and thankful to God our Father for watching over you. Love you my dear friend.
Hugs,
Kimmie
Deena!
ReplyDeleteYour hair really does look very chic!
When my dad's fiance's hair grew in after chemo, she said she never received so many positive compliments from folks who didn't even know her!
It's so good to see you looking so well. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day.
hee hee... You and I share much the same profile. Hubby always catches those side shots of me and I could just beam him!
But you know what.... I look at your pictures and all I see is an amazingly beautiful woman. I think I'll try to look at myself more through God's eyes than my own from now on.
Prayers & Hugs... *Linda*
wow Deena, your hair is growing back fast. That was the hardest for me, patiently waiting to look my norm again. I think you might have the chemo curls. I still have curls but it's growing back straight again. I'll miss my curls when they are cut off. But after chemo I'm feeling I will never cut my hair again...to funny. You look good honey, you really do.
