A Watched Pot

They say a watched pot never boils. Well I am learning another lesson- a watched head does not seem to grow hair. A lot of people have said my hair would grow in fast. Well apparently my definition of fast and their definition - are entirely two different things.... lol :O)

 I know it has only been two weeks from when the end of my last chemo cycle ended but I had really hoped by now I would be seeing some significant hair growth, at least something more than the peach fuzz that take quite a bit of effort to see.

Trust me when I tell you that it is hard to look at you own head to see if there is any hair growth. I have even used a camera- I used my phone first and that did not get clear enough photos so I thought maybe the real camera would - you know the flash might help me see the hair better. Well it did not do hardly any better. I saw a friend this week who looked at my head to see about my hair growth and I think she was surprised that she could hardly see anything at all. She did not say much- but you could tell by the look on her face.

I had really hoped to have had a decent amount of hair by my birthday in November - but I am beginning to think that I will be lucky to be able to have enough hair to feel comfortable without a hat by the 1 year anniversary of losing my hair- Jan 19th.

I am trying to stay positive about it all. And try not to focus on that part. I am just anxious to see what my hair ends up looking like - what color and if it will be curly like a lot of people have said their hair comes back - after chemo. I just think it will be really cool to see. I saved some of my hair when we cut it off - to compare with the new hair that comes in. I think it will be neat to see.

With hair - it is hard to just put a lid on it and not pay any attention to it for a while... lol
