No Surgery Day

My friend Lys Lam asked me if surgery was still on today and the answer is no. I forgot to tell you guys but I called last week and reminded my oncology team to cancel it. If it had gone through then it would have delayed my chemo schedule, possibly allowing my liver tumours to grow. I don't want to play around with the liver tumours because your liver actually does a very important job in your body. The surgery is still available to me and I may do it eventually as I'll always have a lot of scar tissue in my left breast and on the mammogram, leftie, appears to have heaps of micro calcifications (which are sometimes pre-cancerous growths). In my dreams, I have NEC and then I can elect to have both breasts done together so they'll look adorably symmetrical. Dream big I say.

My hair has been slowly falling out since last Thursday and now it's hit full steam. I let it fall out as it wanted to and avoided the hair tugging freak-out of last hair loss. This way was much better and allowed me to get used to it gradually however, last night it got to the point that I took the scissors to my own head Elle-style (Elle often cut off key pieces of her hair as a child, just for fun.) Kill always thinks that I look beautiful but I'll admit that my current hair cut is a stretch although I did let him clean up the back after I took this shot :). I took a creepy video of what chemo hair-loss is like but I think that you'll get the shivers. If you watch it, be warned!

Love,
Cail

Losing Your Hair Again - Time to Update Your Wigs

The first time I lost my hair, I just bought synthetic wigs because they're cheaper and don't have to be styled, as they hold only one shape. I have a plethora of these fakes but none of them is absolutely perfect.

Here are the flaws in the above wigs, as I see them:
Red - accentuates my post-chemo pimples
Blond on loan from Kopi - great colour but the cut is not me
Long Brown one - gets in my face and feels cheap probably because it was wig-cheap (90$)
Browny red - A little drag queenie and I did buy it from a store for those of the cross dressing persuasion :)

One of my foibles is an overactive delight in shopping. I adore doing it and find it incredibly enjoyable. So shopping for a new wig is right up my alley and I could do it indefinitely! I know that I should probably get one really nice wig like my NEC (no evidence of cancer) friend Michelle but I'm torn because then it's less fun. So here are some real hair wigs from an online store that I'm considering. I need feedback on both color and cut. Okay, fellow style mavens guide me. First row is the same wig styled differently as is the second row albeit in a different color. The last row holds two separate wigs but both from the same brand which means they share color options.
