Hi D now that sounds brilliant.. send a pic in when done! I have to say having mine down makes me feel normal, brighter and happier... even if treatment with Avastin still continues until March! xx

Looks fabulous on you it is five months since I finished chemo so my hair is about the same length as your but as I stated chemo again for 3rd recurrence on Monday last I will soon be waving bye bye to it again, I have been bald more over the last four years so I am well used to waving it goodbye.

Hi GBIRVMIC. I never had much hair anyway so I don't mind losing it.I have a nephews wedding next September so hopefully I will have a little covering by then . My Oncologist is always saying to me for someone who is so sick I always look so well it must be because I'm only a little thing. Take care Kittie😁

Thank you...I thought I'd share with us girlies... I was bald in March and hated it and then my natural dark brown grew back and I hadn't seen that colour in donkeys years lol... I do feel a lot brighter... happier too! 😊

Michelle, you look amazing. Your colours (hair, make up and top) look great and I love your statement necklace.

My hair has come back silver on top (I found when my hubby clippered my highlighted hair off in April that my hair was dark with a few grey!!!) and it is coming back curly so I have to put it into a little Mohican to control the curl!! I'm 4 months post chemo so soon to plan my first haircut.

I used to have it highlighted but don't really want to go back to that time of regular time sat in the hairdressers chair and the expense (£100+) every 5 to 6 weeks, so I'm sticking with this colour for the time being!!

Love the cut too

Oh it's lovely and so much hair, I am 10 weeks post treatment and had the bum fluff that came through trimmed, I can't wait for it to grow so I can have some highlightes put through.

Congrats on your marvellous NORMAL hair Michelle! I am 4 months out from chemo and not quite there yet, but oh the joy when my hair doesn't scream to the world, "She's had chemo!"

You are so looking good girl!

Didn't personally have my hair dyed,was scared how it would grow back as frizzy before and had it dyed since 18,but it grew back blonde(white really)!

Still sitting on the fence,but you look fabulous!

Well thank you Carole! I just wanted to have a bit of the old me back.. it's not a short hair style I would choose but I do quite like it... plus it's so easy to manage! Michelle xx

Sorry Michelle only reading your post now, your hair does look good, well done, it does make us more confident to get a bit of colour back in.
