Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

So I have been asked by a few people who have not seen me in awhile what the status is on my hair at this point. Well, I thought I would update y'all on it and include some visuals! Because I started this whole thing with an extremely full head of hair (fine but lots of it), I actually still have some on my head and have not worn wigs yet. Now mind you, it is not fabulous looking and there is a lot of smoke and mirrors used to make it look fuller. Thank goodness I know quite a few "professional" tricks of the trade because let's get real...who wants to wear a "hair hat" in this weather we are having in San Diego?! It has been in the high 80s and low 90s and a wig is not something I want to put on my head!! I know that my hair is thin and I am sure some people think, "Aw, that poor lady doesn't have much hair" but I DON'T CARE!!! I figure I should enjoy it for as long as I can.

I am shocked I still have hair at all because I will be getting my 12th and LAST Taxol treatment TOMORROW!!! YIPPEE!!! I have a week off after that and then start the stronger treatments (AC) on October 15. There are 4 of them and are every other week as long as my blood counts stay on track. That would mean my very last one would be the day after Thanksgiving which is kind of cool because I will probably feel decent on Thanksgiving and I would have the whole family here to help me celebrate finishing up my treatments! I hear that what little remains on my head will quickly fall out when I start the AC so I thought you'd like a peek at what I will look like in my "hair hats" (my term for my wigs).

Okay, here are the photos of me and my many different looks you could see me in. I am sure hat people at church will be saying, "Didn't that lady have short hair last week?" 

This is the real thing and is what's
 left on my head.
Not too bad!

This is "Nancy"
She is a sassy little bob cut
(human hair)

This is "Frankie"
She is short and sporty
(human hair)

Side shot of "Frankie"

"Rachel" is a synthetic wig
and won't last long but she
is cute

This in my "halo" that is a
headband of hair. It leaves
the top of my head hair free
and I can just put a hat on top
of it. Way cooler!

Just thought I throw "Marilyn" in
for laughs for y'all. Kendall wore this
a few times on stage...got to love
having a costume closet! I kind of liked
being a blonde for a few minutes!
You may just see me in this one again! lol

Okay, that is my update on my hair. I hope you enjoyed the photos. I will post tomorrow about how #12 went! Keep those prayers coming my friends, I need them all!
