For women in particular, losing your hair is one of the worst possible things that happens with a cancer diagnosis. It seems like it should be the last thing on your mind, but trust me, when you are diagnosed with cancer, you loose your rationality. Things that matter, suddenly don’t…

You’re as cold as ice!

The first two questions I asked when I found out I needed more chemo were I am going to Sweden in three weeks so can we work around that please? Will my hair fall out? The answer to the first was yes of course and sadly for the last question…

I got 99 problems but my hair ain’t one

Sarah Carty • June 28, 2016Hair & No Hair !

My scrutinous hair watch has eased a lot in the past few weeks, because I actually have some now. I have finally reached the point I have been eager to get to; when people wouldn’t actually know what has happened the past year when they look at me. Yeahy for…

So the past few months I have documenting as best I can the progress of the fro. You never notice how much it’s growing because you are always comparing it to the long locks before… Looking back on all the pictures, it amazed me how far it has come. Bushy…

‘Why on God’s green earth would you shave your hair again?’ That was the response I got from my Ma when I told her I was going to shave off what bit of hair that had started to sprout up. In the past two weeks my hair has grown at…

Noooo not the eyebrows!

Queue the violins; my eyebrows are on their last tether. In fairness I cannot really complain as both my eyelash and eyebrow hair lasted six assaults of chemotherapy. I knew this day would come so I am ready, prepared to combat this injustice (yes out of everything I find losing…
