Go here…<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m super excited.\u00a0 I recently Googled “hair growth after chemo” and found a plethora of information online; however, one blog stood out.\u00a0 It’s a blog of a cancer survivor who lost her hair, yet documented each week of her hair growth after <\/em>her chemo treatments ended, aptly named, “Hair Growth After Chemo.” \u00a0 Ironically, her timing is almost one year ahead of me.\u00a0 On November 27, she posted a picture of her new beautiful dark curly locks and I sat and cried at I read her post thinking that could be me in one year or so.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, I’ve become a little self-conscious of my diminishing eye lashes and eye brows.\u00a0 My skin now has a dull yellow hue, as I remember noticing on other chemo patients early on in my treatment at SCOA.\u00a0 I wrote to my new blog friend today and explained that for me bald was easy when I was early in my treatment.\u00a0 I had thick, black eye lashes and eye brows.\u00a0 My skin still glowed of health.\u00a0\u00a0 (Three of my features I will never complain about again as long as I live.)\u00a0 However, these five chemo rounds have played a toll on my body.<\/p>\n

I look sick.<\/p>\n

Even when I smile and have great energy, I look sick.\u00a0 It’s disheartening.\u00a0 I so want to look on the outside how I feel on the inside.<\/p>\n

This new blog gave me hope that life does go on after chemo.\u00a0 Even now, when I’m still in the thick of it all, with surgery and radiation still ahead of me, I see the light at the end of the tunnel.\u00a0 And my new friend, author of my new favorite blog, whom I will likely never meet or even talk to for that matter has sparked a new found confidence in me.<\/p>\n

I’m so close and I know that by this time next year, God willing, I may have a head full of dark waves.\u00a0 I hope so!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
