LOL. But that's just me.<BR/><BR/>I think they recommended mom shave her head the first week after treatment. It's just too sad otherwise. I cried when I shaved mom's hair. <BR/><BR/>I also think you should have someone with you as you will not feel like driving and the chemo time is boring.

The first one...Hi Deena, both wigs are really nice. The first one looks more like you, in the pictures you've posted. <BR/><BR/>Here's another fun option for a spare wig: My favorite wig was actually a ponytail (real hair) that fit under a baseball cap. They also make them to fit under regular hats, so you have wisps of real hair peeking out. Very cute and hip. The company is called Hip Hats With Hair and here's their website: http://www.hatswithhair.com<BR/>Click on Products and then on each wig picture to see what they look like on real people. The website does not do their products justice. I wore my ponytail all the time and would run into people who hadn't heard I had cancer. They never knew it wasn't my own hair!<BR/><BR/>And no, this was not a paid endorsement! ;-) I just loved my ponytail wig.<BR/><BR/>They also make them to fit under scarves and bathing caps.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you have a treatment plan and can move on. For me, that was the worst part, the waiting for the plan! Once I knew what I had to do to beat cancer, I felt so much better and ready to go!<BR/><BR/>You are right, that you can do this. You are already finding ways to get through it all.

I've got to say this because it's something that my momma said to me in hard times and I've kept it for always - sharing it through life as needed. "Head down and swim."

Thank the Lord that these people know what they are doing! I am so glad they will be checking your heart. I really pray that they will not see any "hot spots" on the PET scan. <BR/><BR/>As far as the wigs go, I like the first one better, the second one seems a little too poofy and doesn't look like you to me. It actually might be kind of fun to shop for a wig, I only wish it was for a different reason, but it haven't you always been curious what you might look like with long blond hair or spiked red hair???? <BR/><BR/>I will continue to pray for you my friend. <BR/><BR/>Love SharonRose of Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531200562867245403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-59561021251666511562008-01-13T00:40:00.000-06:002008-01-13T00:40:00.000-06:00Hey Deena,You're so striking, you're going to look...Hey Deena,<BR/><BR/>You're so striking, you're going to look fabulous without hair.

My sister walked this road just two years ago. The hardest part was the fear. Not the chemo or the radiation, etc. It was not knowing about her future. but you know what? She now admits that that was all wasted energy, wasted time that could have been fun, wonderful, times. There will be times that are hard, emotions will jump around like crazy, but it will all pass. This is just a chapter in the book of life, and you will come out stronger, more beautiful, wiser, more compassionate, and shine like the stars in Heaven. I'll be praying for you as you continue your journey. . . . and I like the first wig the best!

Like the other girls said I think just knowing the facts will empower you to feel more in control and not be blindsided so. I too favor the first wig for you but the other is cute and perky, so may give you an additional boost just having a differnet perky little doo. I happen to love the flower paint job JoAnna had and can imagine all sorts of quirky fun in creating your own masterpiece, maybe in fun at home. Some of the little "tennis" type caps have a built-in pony tail for a cute effect to just pop on too. Daily and continuous prayers from my family to you and to your family. A cross to bear but not alone.

I always stopped for a favorite coffee drink - hot when it was cold, cold when it was hot - and everyone in the chemo room is always so very nice. Patients and staff alike. I always felt fine afterwards and enjoyed reading or doing whatever I wanted to do for me. Then again, my six months of chemo was always about me. :O)<BR/><BR/>You'll be in my prayers!Jensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15639970448069931471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-29985009614000677972008-01-12T17:18:00.000-06:002008-01-12T17:18:00.000-06:00I agree that the first "do" looks like your presen...I agree that the first "do" looks like your present "do."
