    Hi Shirley
    so glad to hear that you are doing well! As I am sure you will remember how quick your hair grows back once it starts and may be it will grow back different this time, I just remember praying it didn't grow back grey!
    Wishing you luck and all the best for the new year!
    Love Sharon x

    PS to Sharon as a 60 year old that has had her hair faintly high lighted for the last umpteen years I dread to think what colour it would grow into!!!!

    Lol sorry gill, like shirley I was quite proud of my dark (would have been very curly if I didn't straighten them!) locks, hence the pre-transplant photo. Fortunately for me they have grown back lovely and its time I found a new photo of me! I have always said I will resort to dyeing it if it starts to go grey! Hopefully at 40 I have got a few years yet to go- if this dreadful illness doesn't get me first!

    I hope I didn't offend you too much
    love Sharon x

    Dear Shirley

    Happy Near Year! So glad to hear things are going well with you. You are very brave.

    Your post has answered a question I have been wondering about which is 'does every new regime of chemo lead to hair loss.

    Keep cheerful and look forward to that long remission.

    Love

    Actually Girls, my original hair was a very light mousy brown. Very fine hair and dead straight. The new hair which grew back was very dark and a lot thicker and curley, but, I still had my bald patch. So all my family are waiting to see what will happen this time:-S

    kindest regards

    hi shirley

    great to hear your great news, amazing what can be done with drugs and willpower! Gordons hair grew back thicker and not so grey still had his bald patch, waiting to what happens this time, still very bald wears his hat all the time.

    Were you given the option of a wig? some wigs i saw at kings were lovley grat for keeping the head warm1

    continue improving
