Hi trg3, glad you enjoyed the workshop... I went along when i started treatment and would recommend to everyone who can get along. You need to shave your head when you are ready and not when some counsellor who hasnt stood in your shoes thinks its right.

I didnt shave my hair until after i finished my chemo and had my surgery. I didnt lose all my hair but i did keep it trimmed short. I wore a wig, scarves or hat depending in where i was. My hair was my pride and joy.

If you do shave it off now, do because you want to xx

There are very few decisions we make on our cancer journey .. I said I would decide when I lost my hair so had it cut really short, and at the first signs if it coming out I had I all shaved off .. It was liberating ... ,!! As it was my choice 💞💥🎉
