Today at work I met one of the nurses who went through the exact same treatment (lumpectomy, exact same chemo, and radiation) that I will. We have e-mailed back and forth and she has shared some resources. She was very helpful with recommendations during chemo. Today when I got in the elevator I noticed a woman with short, but definitely a full head of hair. She noted my bald head and I could see her trying to see my badge. I read her name off her coat (she's kinda a big deal) and just said "Yup, I'm Sara". It was nice to meet her in person, however brief. She finished radiation about 1 month ago and when she got off the elevator she pointed to her head and said "Look! Soon enough yours will be back too." Looking forward to having/regrowing hair in the new year.
My peach fuzz is a little long in spots and I realized the other day that I totally look like the Nicktoon's character Doug. I find that I am often humming the theme song. I don't think it helps that my pajama t-shirt is the same color as his vest. Now where is Skeeter when you need him?
Or PORK CHOP!!
