Well they say bald is beautiful, but I beg to differ lol. Boy did I get a shock tonight when I noticed how much hair I had actually lost during radiation, but I think it's rather the pattern in which it's fallen out. It's just so very odd in the way it's fallen out. I can't describe it, so I've taken some pictures. Side by side. On the left shows you what my head looks like from the back when my hair is combed down. Yes, I have hair, that's the weird thing lol. I got a bob hair cut after I donated 14" of hair and before I went into treatment, and it seems that portion of the hair has stayed put, now everything else has apparently gone south. That's evident by the photo on the right.
The thing is, I don't look in the mirror at the back of my head, and with hair brushed down over the back of my head I didn't really realize that it was balding. I thought it was only thinning. I found out tonight that I was wrong. lol Well I have only 2 radiation treatments left, however, the effects of the radiation can last for up to 1 month after I stop treatment, so I may end up totally bald yet. Who knows. I keep telling myself though that this look is happening just in time for Halloween. Now that I see exactly what "the look" is, I think I need to pick up a goalie mask and a machete.
Happy Halloween everyone.
