My make over

This Photo was taken just as I started my radiotherapy. During my chemotherapy treatment there have been a few snaps taken of me with varying amounts of hair. I thought it would be a nice idea to have a nice photo of me without hair so arranged a makeover session with a company called www.theimagemill.co.uk

    Hi Michala, thank you for your lovely comment. I know what you mean about confidence in wearing the wig, I have two but only wore one of them for a very short period of time on two occasions, once when I had no hair and once when it had just started growing back. Both times I ended up taking it off before the evening had ended. I actually felt so much more "me" without it! I think you are probably at the worst stage with regards to your hair, the inbetween stage!! I tried so hard to keep my hair but it wasn't to be, it is a very emotional stage to go through. I honestly felt better once it had all gone, in fact it felt quite liberating. The first couple of times going out in public felt a little odd but once I saw that people weren't that interested it just became easier and easier. Mandy has told me a little bit about you and if I can offer you any support then I would be happy to help. Take care, hold your head up ........... and show everyone how beautiful you really are! Much love to you x

    aww thank you for that, it really means alot.
    the only reason im going to wear the wig is because my 6 year old said she didnt want people laughing at me, that put it all into perspective for me.
    2nd lot of chemo on friday, and to be honest i think it will be the last time the cap goes on.
    im starting to deal with it a bit better now, i just wish it would all come out at once and then at least id know where i was with it! lol, ive added you as a friend on fb if thats ok, and i can keep up with your progress on there too. im glad mandy mentioned you, its uncanny the things you have been through that i can say "oh i know what she means" lots of love michala, x

    I'm so glad I can be of some help, however small. Each new step can carry little worry's in our minds but also every step you take is a little bit closer to being well again. You will learn as you go and get strength from the people who give you support. You will come out the other end feeling very different about life and the things that are most important to you........ but you will come through it and you will feel good again. take care, hope all goes well on Friday :)x
