My New Hair

On the eve of chemo session number two, I realise that the past few weeks have been pretty good overall. While I have had good and bad days, I know that when I am feeling tired, the best remedy is rest. It is refreshing to know that I will hopefully be able to continue to walk everyday and have a few outings each week.

Today I had one of those outings. I was thinking a few weeks ago that I would not get a wig, however, now that I actually have no hair, I have quickly changed my mind. I went out today in one of my new Alannah scarves, which is beautiful but I felt like a cancer patient for the first time. I find that with my hats, people cannot tell if I have hair under them or not so I don't get as many stares, however, today I really noticed people looking at me, so it will be nice to have a wig so that I can blend in....

Now for anyone who knows me, this is going to be a big change. There is no such thing as a curly blonde long hair wig, so that was not an option. I tried on probably around 20 wigs and had a very difficult time choosing as they are ALL so different. After creating a shortlist and having a little vote between Mum and the girls in the store, I decided to go with this one below. One of the reasons is that it's a similar colour to my hair and I will be able to do a few different styles with it; and more importantly I will still be able to wear my beautiful headbands and hair clips, so that was a good incentive to choose this one.

So here it is...... the unveiling of the new Susie! So despite me having chemo tomorrow, I have lots to look forward to over the next couple of weeks so I am determined to get it out of my system as quickly as possible and feel better quickly!

Let me know what you think of the new do! xx
