Wishing you an uneventful recovery, Helen!
I had mine just over a year ago and though my hair didn't all fall out while in hospital it got fairly sparse in places and very thin and straggly, so when I was allowed home I made a stop on the way at the local barber's to have it all taken off down to the wood.
It was weird not to have any hair after 30+ years of long thick wavy hair, but after a bit I got used to the look, and was quite comfy wearing one of Bridget's famous hats when out and about till after Christmas.
By then it had started to regrow as I went from a slaphead to a suedehead and finally saw little curls develop. Now a year later I am at the stage of having to decide if I am going to get a haircut or start having to "style" it instead of just running my fingers through it to make it tidier.
My latest photo was taken a few weeks ago and is in my profile.
Has anyone else noticed that other people who know you want to touch the new barnet as it grows? We go to an ex-army association lunch once a month and several of the gents there can't resist patting or ruffling my hair when they pass my chair!!
Luv

Hoping your hair starts back strongly soon.
