  1. I think your new "do" looks GREAT!

    Your photo is fantastic...you look happy and peppy.
    Hang in there, you are nearly done with the treatments...and there ARE nicer days ahead.
    That is so sweet about your Grandson Cole, knowing the last chemo date.

    I'm going to bed early tonight too..as in right now. I just wanted to "check in on you."
    I've been wondering about how you've been.
    Your sounding good.
    Be blessed,
    Joyce

  8. Not to test your sanity BUT! are you sure you lost your hair cause it seems to be right there, where it's always been looking as cute as it always has?! Good to see you again! xo c

  9. You look FANTASTIC!!!! No one would ever know - it looks very very realistic, I wouldn't be able to tell at all! I pray you continue to do well - and am sending hugs your way from Michigan - Diane

  10. looks great Deena. I found it hard wearing a wig and prefered scarfs and hats. I think because chemo gave me hot flashes that I could not wear one...too hot. But it looks wonderful, it really does.

    Glad you can eat again. Does food taste metalic to you? I remember everything tasting so strange for awhile. I lost 20lbs during chemo, but sadly I've gained it all back and then some :(

    I was just reading my journal from last year at this time when I was doing chemo. You will be amazed how after the fact time really did and does fly.

    blessings to you sweetie,
    xoxo

  12. DEENA! Your hair looks gorgeous!! It is so very you and looks so very similar to the haircut you had, don't you think?? I just love it, and I love that you feel good to put it on and your makeup! I'm always so so glad to see you post!! Wishing you well, love to you & Rich, xxoo, Dawn

  13. Deena, if I didn't know better I would truly not be able to tell it was a wig. It looks so much like your real hair, it's amazing how they can do that, isn't it? What a nice way to end my Monday by seeing your pretty smiling face ~ I haven't seen a pic of you for awhile and I think you are looking great, my friend!! I bet you have the last day of chemo marked in red on your calendar!! You must do something absolutely fantastic to celebrate:o)

  14. Really great look,not at all artificial looking. Looks just like your hairdo did. Glad to see you looking good. Thinking of you.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Wow, Deena, you look great! I had been thinking about you and praying that you would feel better and be sleeping well, and then I checked your blog tonight. You look so pretty, and I would not have known that was a wig if I saw you on the street! And aren't grandchildren just the most wonderful gift from God? They can be so entertaining, and make us laugh with their goofy antics, and make us feel so warm inside and so loved when they give us kisses and hugs. Hope you have a peaceful night . . . Jann

  18. Deena, You look fantastic! I did a double take - then thought maybe it was an old picture! Glad you are feeling well enough to dress and do makeup. Blessings and prayers for you. . .

  19. My first comment was "Oh how cute!" You probably just need to get more accustomed to it. Deena, you look cute whatever you're wearing so just wear what you feel best in.

  20. My Dear Girl,
    The Hair looks so natural...the style and color match perfectly...
    It is a good feeling to know that you are half way home with the Chemo treatments isn't it?
    I know each one knocks you for a loop..and just when you start to feel better it's time for the next one...
    but hang in there...you are half way home...ready to start the down hill slide...
    Love you,
    Mimi

  21. My Dear Deena,
    You look beautiful. Just as you did the first time I saw your smiling face many months ago. If you didn't say anything I would have thought it was very own hair. Just think, you are almost done with treatment...the summer will be here soon and you will be able to have this all behind you. I think about you daily and you are always in my prayers. Keep smiling my Dear Deena...you are such an inspiration to me. Much Love!
    Hugs,
    Kimmie

  23. Deena,

    It is perfect!

    You are amazing!

    The treatments will soon be past and we will all celebrate your healing and wellness and get back to seeing more of the Singing Woods as this time will fade into a mere memory of the Lord's sustaining grace in your life.

    You are being uplifted in prayer.
    Thank you for your honesty and openness as you travel through this path.

    By the way, Chelsea was thrilled to receive the award...we need to get that onto her blog.

    Thanks!

    You look wonderful, the wig looks soft and its style beautiful…
    Happy to hear you are feeling better.
    I have been thinking about you a lot, I have been working on your

    Take care and enjoy the coming of spring,

  36. I felt the same way when I first wore my wig. I did a "test run" and had my best friend come with me....and no one knew...many people complimented my new style..and I had people ask me where I had it done!!

    You look beautiful and you will become very used to this look...I promise!!

  37. I think it looks great. I think that mostly the complaint is that the wearer feels uncomfortable but you can't tell at all it's not your own hair! How could you not be darling?

  38. I think you look great Deena. I would not know by looking at you that it's a wig.

  39. Oh wow-I thought it was your real hair. I got so confused! :D

    ReplyDelete

  45. I found your blog through Jan's Bold & Free. I love your blog..the colors..the pictures..the music...and your positive attitude through a tough time in your life. Your wig looks really natural and you look good! I've been praying for you, and know you'll soon be feeling even better. :)

  46. Good Afternoon Deena,
    You look absolutely beautiful with your wig on and you look like a breath of fresh air. That is so sweet that your Grandson knows when your last day of chemo will be. We still have been getting more rain here. It hasn't rained today, and the Sun is finally trying to come out now. Rain is back in the forecast for tomorrow night and on Thursday. I'm glad that you are feeling better and able to sleep good and eat something. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.

    Love, Hugs, & Prayers,
    Karen H.

  49. Deena,
    So glad you are feeling better. I did a double take of your picture because it looks so much like your own hair style. Hope you continue to feel better with each day & thanks always for reminding us of even the little joys of life. I wish I could send you some of my beautiful twice blooming iris that are starting to bloom out. Flowers always remind me of God's love for us making such beautiful things for us to enjoy. Love & hugs Deena.

  53. You look mah-ve-lous darlin! You really really do.

    Funny story...George and I stopped for ice cream on our bike ride the other day (hey, we needed a little pick-me-up) and sat outside to enjoy our ice cream. This older lady said "Oh honey, I sure do love your haircut." I said "Thank you very much!". And just as I was feeling really good about my hair, she added "Is it your hair or is it a wig?". LOL! So see...no one ever really knows one way or the other.

    Hope you're feeling as good as you look!

    Hugs sweet friend!

  54. I think you are looking fine! :) So much like your real hair color. Not as bouncy and fun, but it will only be for a little while. Just don't tell everyone its a wig. Only your hairdresser knows for sure. :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Deena...you look MAHveLouS!! I'm sorry I haven't checked in on you in a while. Sounds like your treatments are moving right along and that you and the doc have a plan. It's nice to know what the plan is, isn't it? 8 weeks will come and go before you know it.

    I'm thinking of you and keeping you and your family in my prayers always. Hugs--Susan

  56. I absolutely LOVE your new "do", but your attitude is contagious! You are so positive and I love to read your joys because i always realize that when times are at their toughest God is at His greatest. I am joyful today for the opportunity to live a better life- gotta remember to always be a better me! Thank you for the gift of your blogging voice- You are an amazing example of GRACE and perseverence! God Bless you!

  57. Deena, I think it looks WONDERFUL! I seriously do. I do not think I would guess it was a wig. It looks really natural. Girl, you are so pretty! Even in the midst of fighting cancer, a body full of chemo and losing your hair, you look so healthy and well. Tis a good thing to see you looking so well. You have not had a picture of you up lately and I was getting concerned. You are so cute, I am starting to use your cute word "tis", but only when talking with you, I want to honor you and not "steal" it from you (if that can be possible with a word! LOL!). Any way, I think you look great!

    Love Sharon
