Pre-round 2 update

Chemo is weird.

Since my last update, I’ve gotten red bumpy things all over my face that they call “chemo acne”… but is not acne and can actually be made worse by acne medications.

I’ve officially started losing a ton of hair. Even just going to put my hair behind my ears, it all comes out in my fingers. So now I’m weighing the options of which is more traumatic…. Continuing to watch it fall out in chunks or cutting it all off and actually facing the fact I have cancer. Hmm.

I know if I go to a salon, I’ll just cry in front of a bunch of people. Robert suggested he call around and ask if someone could do it after closing so I don’t have to be around strangers. I don’t think they do that though. So here I sit, continuing to wimp out on that.

I’ll update again when I stop avoiding the inevitable.

  1. Buzz it off yourself so you can ugly cry at home. It will grow back! I know it doesn’t help saying that but Mikki’s is coming back as thick and curly as it ever was!❤️

  2. Hi, Jen. Maybe you can find a stylist who would come to you. I can’t imagine what you are going through with this dilemma – no one can possibly know who hasn’t been through it – but I imagine the slow process, as you describe it, has to be emotionally trying. Maybe just rip off the bandaid and get ‘er done so you control the inevitable on your terms. I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up wearing it well. 👍🥰

  3. I can’t imagine Jen but remember it will grow back. Ashley shaved off her moms hair. She did a good job using barber hair shaver.
