So I went to my radiation treatment this morning. When I scheduled it yesterday the radiation therapist said, I'll double book you to get you in earlier. So this morning I made sure I got to my treatment a little earlier than I normally do. And it worked. I beat the 9:30 appointment. She strolled in after me and when they called us back, I got the dressing room 1st. All I was focused on was getting in and getting out. Funny thing is when I went in the dressing room I went in with my wig. When I came out I was sporting my super short hair. After treatment when I walked back in the dressing room the lady said:
Her: Wow, you're hair looks great.
Me: Thank you
Her: How long did it take to get that long? You can actually wear it out in public.
Me: Well, I finished chemo on November 22nd so I guess 3 months of growth. It took a month before it really got filled in. It was fuzzy for awhile. And yes, I'm thinking about going out in public like this. Just wish the weather would stay warm long enough. I get cold so easily.
Her: Yes, I know, my head is cold all the time. Well, it looks great. You should go out without your wig.
Me: Thanks.
Well, that just made me feel like I was on cloud 9. Then I got undressed in front of the mirror and saw more skin being burned off so sadden by this sight, I said, only 1 more Jen. Hang in there.
