If you have read previous stories on this blog you will remember that I buzzed my hair before it started to fall out. When I mentioned to my doctor that I had buzzed preemptively and hadn’t noticed any hair loss after that, she reminded me that I was on a smaller dose of Taxol this time around and it might not fall out. I called that blog entry “Oops!”.

Well I was thrilled to wake up the other morning and see small hairs on my pillow. Most people wouldn’t be happy that their hair was actually falling out, but I didn’t want to be the woman walking around town with the buzz cut explaining that I hadn’t lost my hair from chemo but buzzed it in preparation for the side effect that never came.

One of my friends gave me a “kit” right after my first chemo treatment which involved moistening special dirt (comes in the kit) with water and planting the seeds in the bag. I have been watering it frequently and am happy to report my new hair replacement therapy is almost ready to be transplanted on my head. Let me know what you think…
