I knew this morning it was just a matter of time. My scalp was very tender. As the day progressed I was losing more and more hair – not in clumps as was suggested would happen, but handfuls were coming out whenever I ran my fingers through my hair.

We had planned that Pat would give me a buzz cut when the time came but his clippers really weren’t up for the job. My hair is very thick so he started to trim it down with scissors. It soon became apparent that this wasn’t going to work either.

With a treatment tomorrow I wasn’t sure I would be up for a salon visit after and I really didn’t want to go out looking half shorn – not that I’ve looked in a mirror since we started the process. And with Christmas approaching it might be days before I could get out.

Pat made an emergency call to the hair salon and we are going to meet her this evening and she will, hopefully, finish the job.
