Who would have thought that chemotherapy could be regarded as good news.
Blood results are back and my Mum is able to continue the chemo, even though at a reduced dose. Her hair has started falling out after just one treatment, which she had four weeks ago. I always thought that this bit would bother me the least. After all - the hair will grow back. But now that this is actually happening to her, I am finding it really upsetting. One's hair is just such a prominent feature of one's appearance. You can't overlook the fact you are losing your hair, every time you see yourself in the mirror.
Next time I see her, she will look so different. If the hairdresser gets her way, she will have a blonde wig (my Mum has naturally black hair, and nowadays black with grey streaks).
