Lovely, you're getting there. 'Gods haircut' looks better with small earings. The back of mine looked like a Barber's 3/4 cut. I got a few strange second glances but when I look back on the photos it did'nt look that bad and I too have always had chin length hair.
Oh I disagree about those earrings! I bought some really cheap gold ones shaped like chrismas trees! I'll post a pic later today to demonstrate the 'me' with no hair and outrageous make up & jewellery! I shaved the head and wore elaborate showy turbans! Head up and proud! Feel an idiot now!
My hair has grown back very fine and fly away!
Never one to be discrete me! LOL! My attitude is very much two fingers to the disease and its consequences!
When I was treated to the "double take" and OMG reaction I looked the chap in the eye (not easy he was 6 ft and I am 5'2") and said "Yes! I've got cancer! You have a problem with that?". He went scarlet muttered inc.voherently and fled! LOL!
There's no way Margaret, unless you create a blog for yourself separately and copy in the URL. The other way, I should imagine is to create a Flikr account where you can store and share your photos. I've been meaning to explore both options so we can share more together.
I created a blog for myself this week but it was a free one on the internet and very limited - so no option to upload photos. I'll have a go with an Apple Web page application but it seems I have to go into the Apple Shop to buy this. Will also have a go with Flikr as I have an account but have almost never used it.
Enjoy your dinner with friends tonight. I'll post up more information if I work anything out.
Had to laugh at your staring out the OMG look you got. How rude people can be staring like that. It's only people aren't used to seeing women without hair. If we were the same to men we'd be standing in the streets permanently open-mouthed. xx
Hi Annie. Try Wordpress or Blogger. Still free and you can do lots with either. This is my family history blog,methought I haven't updated it for a while. childrenofmoorfield.blogspo...
I was in a fairly sad and hopeless mood the first time I went out without hair hat or scarf and must confess I snapped back "yes, what?" at the two teenaged baristas in the coffee shop who just didn't know where to look... Shouldn't have really :-0
Hi Angie,
You won't believe this but I am 11months after chemo...and I really don't like my hair it is still too short...I went out tonight to a concert and wore smy wig... it just feels like a safety blanket, (loads of people said how good I looked ).... I feel they wouldn't say that if they saw my hair... I wasn't like this the first time I lost it...but this time...I don't know when I'll be ready but aren't hats great? I had a lot the first time and I enjoyed wearing them...so enjoy your lovely early Christmas present...lots of love x G x

Oh ladies, I can see a hat/headgear pic gallery coming on via this blog... Time I uploaded a pic in any case...gotta ask hubby to reshape head this morning and will dig out my new red hat for a pic after !!!
ha ha - I did laugh about your husband re-shaping your head.
I'm looking forward to seeing the pic. If the one you find won't upload 'cos it's too big you can email it to me. My Apple Mac has a very simple way of reducing photo sizes to the required no of pixles for uploading to the internet. I could resize and send it back to you if you wish.
Yes! that's a thought "Hats" hhmmmm when I wore loads of hats (that year 2008) they had a lot of hats in the shops and in Matalan in particular... but most of them had peaks on the front, at my age a definite no-no, so I took the peaks off and twirled them or twisted them (without the stiffener) and attached them to the side (a bit like a flapper hat) and I had such a lot of compliments they also came decorated with beads or sparkle (I like sparkle) I had over a dozen I also bought two fringes the same colour as my hair attached them to a band, one on the front one on the back, you couldn't tell I lost my hair even my neighbours couuldn't tell and it made me happy.. so who cares? Of course I looked like a monk underneath my hat (no offence to monks but of course theirs is by choice) When my lovely young bald postman "Simon" came I would answer the door whip off my head covering and shout "SNAP" and we both would fall about like smash men LOL "happy hat day" lots of love x G x
If you do get into a hats theme, let me know and I can email you a lovely photo from last summer. It was late afternoon on the beach and a crowd of Italian youngsters came down with hats and sticks they had been collecting on their walk. They put hats on sticks by the edge of the sea. It looked really artistic, like modern sculptures......imaginative and lovely! I can put the photo at the start of a blog, can't I? Or, if you pm me your email, I can email it to you
I forgot the soap and I went into town on Wednesday as well Doh! Thanks for the reminder.. you and Linda have said the same about the soap... so I must give it a try...I feel so old with my hair so thin...it will never be as good as my wig though haha x G x
Ooooh I know what you mean there...(people telling you what to do) I sometimes forget I can think for myself...years ago when I was young....I had very oily hair and most people kept telling me that I shouldn't wash it too much.... anyway I tried it their way (it didn't work) and then I woke up..it made me utterly miserable when I hadn't washed my hair.. so then I washed my hair every day and do you know what? whatever others said wasn't true... I still wash it every day... it makes me feel better washing it didn't make it any greasier either..cheers x G x
What a fantastic Christmas present. Last Christmas my sister-in-law did something similar for me when I was bald. She gave me a collection of 5 scarves, all dfferent shapes, sizes and patterns.
I remember my first outing without the wig, 25th July this year, my lovely stepson's 18th birthday. The weather was so hot and I felt the time had come but I did feel so strange. I still have difficulty recognising myself in the mirror though people make kind comments about my bone structure. I have to remind myself how lucky I am to be here, short hair and all.
Well done you! That first outing is the hardest but at the end of the day it is nothing to what else we have to go through. Hold your head up and be proud! I think what upset me most about having no hair was I almost felt it defined me and what I had, but that was silly.My hair is now like an explosion of grey curls....strange but very soft. Will have to get used to losing it again next year.
Have a lovely day hope you have the sun like we do in Kent.
I know Angie, but it's the price we pay so my wig and hats will all come out again, but that's next year!
Glad your sister got home safely, it must be strange with her gone if she talked a lot lol!
You are so lucky to live in Devon, I stayed near Sidmouth for a week in September and loved it. The whole area is so nice, never stayed until this year.
