Eyelashes and Eyebrows
Losing my hair was not a big deal and felt like getting a new haircut. Having lost my eyelashes and eyebrows today, 2 weeks into radiation, it feels like my father shaved my head. Certainly having no idea what an impact this would have on my confidence. Lost my hair during chemo, the second session and felt unexpectedly beautiful, most of the time. Today, unfortunately, I want to hide. Now, I want to learn how all the other cancer victims make it months without their eyelashes and eyebrows. My wig made me feel like a fraud. I love hats, especially, the ones family and friends gave me before chemotherapy. Plus, I picked out a few spring hats which are amazing. And, do love and wear them all the time. What seems strange is that all I want are my eyelashes and eyebrows. Cancer is a monster I try to void out of my mind. Definitely too much information comes along with the monster. Begins with a mammogram or breast cancer detection screening...
