Hair Watch – Week 12
I'm upright and outside and with family. It doesn't get better than this!
Hair Watch – Week 11
Ah, week 11. My brother-in-law and I had a hair growing competition. I asked him when he decides it is time to trim his hair and he said, "Whenever I wake up and have bed head." Something to look forward to!<
Hair Watch – Week 10
Last Friday, I had both chemo and radiation. Everyone asked what big plans I had for the weekend. My reply was the same, "Getting a haircut." They all died laughing. Little did they know I was serious. Gene was scheduled for his regular haircut with our stylist,...
Hair Watch – Week 8
Well, it is official. I have a 5 o'clock shadow! Real starter hair. You don't need a magnifying glass or bright light o see it. It is soft and fuzzy and dark.
Hair Watch – Week 6

Hair Watch – Week 5

Hair Watch Week 4
Still waiting! Gene tells me that if I stand in the sunlight and he cocks his head just so, he thinks he can see some peach fuzz. I'm planning to have some fun with the bald head for whatever time I have left with it. My Taxol rash on my hands, arms and face...
Hair Watch Week 3
Still waiting on the hair to grow. But at least the Taxol rash on my face and hands is getting better.
Hair Watch Week 2
Nope. No sign of hair. However, I used my 3X magnification make up mirror and found two stragglers that somehow escaped the lint roller. One is on the top of my head and is about 1/4 inch long. The other is above my left ear and is nearly 1/2 inch long. Neither is...
