Week 12

Well! It is officially 3 months since I ended chemo. My oncologist said by the time I see him again (we scheduled an appointment at the 3 month mark) that my hair would be growing like a chia pet! And he was right haha. Atleast he has a sense of humor. I also finished my STNA course yesterday! Officially certified=] But it was funny because one of the girls in my class said my hair reminded her of a chia pet as well haha!

Also, I started taking those Biotin pills but I decided to stop them. Because after a few days my nails started to really hurt. I don't know if it was from them or not but the pain seems to be going away at least! Stupid cancer.

I am just worrying now about second cancers and it coming back blah blah blah. Hopefully the blood work I get this Friday will show now signs of anything bad a brewin'! Until next week my cancer babies=]


NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!  I love the back, it is cooperating nicely.

I think depending on the angle I take the picture for my top hair really makes a difference.  It looks less here than last week. I don't know! Its just doin its thing for now I suppose. I have to stop worrying about it and realize that worrying will not make it grow any faster!

Week 11

So, again nothing too much to post about. I think it is finally starting to look like I just cut my hair rather than it growing back. If that makes sense. It's starting to do a weird swoop thing in the back you will see too! Today was the first time I went without a hat to my English class, and the guy that sits next to me told me he liked my hair cut! What a sweet guy! Granted he is pushing 60 and probably just trying to be nice but thats okay! I'll take what I can get at this point. I also started taking these pills called Biotin. I don't know if its supposed to really work or not but I just figured any extra little thing I could do wouldnt hurt!

Week 10

I wish my hair would grow faster. I am trying not to be greedy but it is just not filling in like I would have hoped. Maybe I am just crazy but I cant help it! I am still taking the vitamins, using the Nioxin and eating healthy. Hopefully all these things will continue to help the hair growth process :)



the top is simply taking its good ole time! grrrrrrrr! (like my wings in the front near my forehead?? SO WEIRD)

NO HATS!

It is not time for my weekly post just yet, but I have decided to go out WITHOUT hats or scarves or wigs! This past Wednesday I went out for the first time and it was so nice. It was a rare but lovely 60 degree day in early March and I decided what the heck! I have just enough hair to look pretty normal. I went to my STNA class and nobody cared at all. I mean why would they, but still. It's more of a mental thing than anything. Of course I miss my long hair like crazy but having some right now is way better than nothing. Its super super soft and thin at the top but that is okay! I have a picture too! I am at my sisters best friends bridal shower :)

Week 9

Hello all. Nothing really new this week. I think my eyebrows have fully grown back. I may have to pluck them actually because there are some stray birds up there. The hair in the back of my head is getting thicker but the hair on top of my head is still sparse. Still not going out without a hat =/ Maybe by the end of March I will be able to. It is going to start getting warmer so lets hope it keeps growing at the rate it is! Good day =]

didn't have my photographer today so I did my best!



I made this one big so you could see my brows which look like they did before! and also notice the little blonde hairs on my cheek---never had those before! they are all over my chin and ears too!
