And so it Begins..

So it has started! My hair is officially falling out. I first noticed it last night as I was going to sleep. As I laid down on the pillow my hair fibers felt like daggers digging into my scalp. I had to first smooth the hairs which were to touch the pillow before I lay my head down.

Today our friend Heather Kapson came over to drop off cupcakes and in conversation I could pinch hair on the side of my head and pull it right out. There was no resistance, not even a slight tug back saying, "I like this haircut.. it looks goood!"

I don't know why it's the hair on your head that has to fall out. Why can't it be my back hair, my chest hair or the hairs that catch dingle-berries between my cheeks? Why can't my pubes fall out and spell the words "Porn Star?" But no, the hair on my head falls out.

  9. Dingle-berries are so sweet...why would you want to give those up? This is just another step in the fight...

  10. I would wake up and find a whole head of hair lying on the pillow. When I washed my hair, I would get handfuls. It's disconcerting to say the least in the beginning, but I think bald men are extremely virile looking -- especially if teamed with a keen sense of humor, wit and the ability to go through rounds of chemo without losing the "fight back" spirit. VROOM VROOM Jeffrey. Hair grows back and will be thicker than ever -- mine did -- I look like Mrs. Mophead now. It's short but feisty. LOVE YOU Sandy, John, Rebecca, Nick and Kevin too. XXXXXXXX
