In reply to Gail Zahtz. It probably won't be necessary, but I do like the idea of a fall. Less itchy and uncomfortable. :)

We already discussed the hot pink wigs as an option, so today I was even looking at “falls” – they come down from a head band or under a hat- and trying to figure out how to do a hot pink fall for you with a tiarra on top 😉 Sending love always!

Too funny. Yes, take the note writing to one another, you may learn a thing or two.

I wouldn’t know what to do with a well-behaved character. It would flummox me. 🙂

Unruly characters, eh? Mine have FINALLY told me that they want to write letters to each other. Woohoo. But it’s something. 😀

In reply to Gail.

That would be awesome to be able to get a mani/pedi during chemo. Hmmmm, I may have to suggest that. Of course, the doc’s eyes may bug out. 😀

It was just such a funny thing to me that the girls got stuck on something that doesn’t matter to me at all.

In reply to Rhonda Cowsert.

I would love <3 to see pictures of wee Rhonda/Cousin It. 🙂 I also had a “Dorothy Hamill” - it was very, very popular. Of course, I wanted my wedge done a little differently, but I knew my hair would never stand for the straight wedge cut without staging a rebellion. And yes, I have tried permed (very bad choice) which resulted in some strange flat parts to my hair as the natural curl warred with the chem-curl and wound up straightening the section instead of giving it the corkscrew curls I lusted after.

I have a feeling if I do lose my hair, however unlikely, mine would grow back half & half just to be perverse. 😛

You’re right… you won’t lose your hair with this treatment. Best tell the girls to worry about Mani/Pedi’s… Good use of time during chemo! 🙂

For so many years I had VERY long hair. When I was a wee Rhonda I looked like Cousin It from the Addams Family from behind because my hair was nearly to my ankles. I remember the first time my mother took me to get it cut into the cute and very popular “Dorothy Hamill”. It was so short that I was sure I looked like a boy.

Over the years my hair has been long, short, permed (BAD choice), fried, frizzed and everything in between. The one thing I learned through it all is that hair almost always grows back. Which is a good thing because, as the girls will discover, they have a lifetime of bad hair decisions ahead of them. 😉

Besides, if you lose your hair from the chemo I’ve been told that sometimes when it grows back it’s completely different. Brunettes have become blondes, stick straight hair has grown back curly and people who could never tame their curls might suddenly have a head of perfectly straight and shiny hair – no flat iron required.
