Hi cuties, thought I would drop you a line to let you know that I am well after the Chemo & scans. My Hair is back, its starting to go curly and is not the same colour. Funny when I was a child my dad called me ginger megs, well guess what it has come back ginger, normally I am blond. Thankyou all for you kindness, Heather

211079Hi,
I am a cancer survivor and also had VERY curly hair after chemo. When it grew out to a suitable length, I cut it in a shortish style, and it went back to straight! I could handle everything, but not the curly untidy hair. I was so thankful to get my straight hair back.
So, keep faith, and maybe yours return to normal as well. I was 30% gray before chemo and 80% grey after chemo.
Please check up on your teeth, teeth are severely affected by chemo, whether you have good mouth higiene or not. I lost 2 teeth due to chemo. My dentist said most of his cancer patients that had chemo, lost teeth.
I am glad to hear you are fine. I've been clean since 2006. All the best to you!
Best Regards
Anneliese

66908Dear Heather, Wow! what on earth were you doing up so early this morning? Such fabulous news re your recent results. The power of prayer is awesome! Don't worry about your hair, I bet it looks fabulous and I've always wanted curly hair, but no luck! I used to have it permed back in the 80/90's. I now have it au naturale, don't even have highlights. When you feel up to a picture, please post your new look! I hope it's not too hot up there in Queensland, this week we have low to mid 20's perfect Autumnal weather in my eyes. Love and blessings Chris

Yes it was about 2.30am when I finely went to bed. Maybe it is the pain pills keeping me awake. I have made an appointment to see the oncologist tomorrow, to make a new plan for taking my pills. I feel much better the last couple of weeks. Walking without tripping over now, and have lost the puffy round face. Life is getting back to normal. Once a month I see the oncologist to have an injection for my bones, that will continue for the rest of my life. Plus every three months I need to have scans. It has become routine now. I have three quilts that I am sending to Rockhampton to be stippled, one in Japanese, one nautical and one Christmas design. Today I finished making the binding for them. I don't think I will make any more large quilts for a while. Tablecloths are the next on my list to make, the last couple of months I have been making Christmas gifts they are almost completed now. It has been so hot up here, really looking forward to winter,20's sound very pleasant, when it too hot the spar is a relief. blessings Heather

Yes it is very strange the colour our hair comes back, maybe it is because it takes time for our body to come back to normal. hugs
255050I am so glad you are doing well. I am sure you hair will be beautiful no matter the color! You have the rare opportunity to know what it is like to have naturally straight or curly hair and be naturally blonde or ginger.
Hugs
