At dx I jokingly said that an upside to this rotten-ass situation would be that my greying, thin, straight-as-a-board hair would all fall out and new, thick, curly, non-grey hair would grow back.
But, alas, I only lost about 2-3 inches in the back, from the bottom up. And, of course, it is growing back ( about 4 inches long now) and IS thicker, darker, and in cute little ringlets. DAMN!!
But, of course, the most important thing is that the CANCER never grows back. No curly new hair would ever be worth going thru that agony again. So piss on that curly hair I wanted.
And, remember, everyone is different.
