My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013. Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks. When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you. It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you. This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment. I hope I have it set up so you can. If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.

A new hair color!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok! I guess I can be a little mad/ grumpy about this.  If I can't, I am anyway.

I was told by my hairdresser, that most times when women loose their hair  during chemo, that it comes in differently than it was before.  So I was aware I may have some change in my hair.

Well, I initially had it shaved the first of September.  As my hair started growing back, I could see my normal hair color and texture coming back.  I would always keep checking it out closely, even though it was only a half inch or so.... But it looked like my normal hair.

I had it shaved again a few weeks ago.  AND IT IS NOT MY SAME HAIR COMING BACK IN! It is almost pure WHITE!  And VERY CURLY!  I have WHITE CURLY HAIR!! My gosh!  I thought I have been imagining it the last week or so, since my head is so light.  The darker hair was not coming through.  And it looked liked it was fuzzy white!  I finally said something to Kim tonight about how my hair is coming in differently.  He said he had noticed it also that it looked so light and he thought it looked curly!  SO I AM NOT IMAGINING IT! It isn't gray.  IT IS WHITE!  AND YES I AM THROWING A MINI TANTRUM! I am not ready for this change too!!!! Dag-nabit!

(Woo hoo for hair color)

(Ok, my daughter, Emily just called and I let out my frustration on her.  She had a marvelous idea!  She told me to shave it a third time, and maybe it will come in red!) hahahahaha

    After my chemotherapy, my hair came back in VERY wavy - almost curly. But after it grew out and I got the first good haircut, it was back to normal. I think the hair follicles just take some time to restart themselves!
