I've really joined the club now

Well after humming and haaaing for ages I took the plunge and finaly got rid of the stupid amount of hair I had left. And just like everyone here says - it was the best thing I could have done. I feel I look more normal and a hell of a lot better with no hair than what I did with my sorry excus for hair.

Funny thing is now that I've shaved it's growing back. I'm not getting too excited as I know I could lose it again but the top of my head is almost covered (a scattering of patches). I'll keep shaving until I see 5 o'clock shadow all over, then I may attempt to grow it and wait and see.

Getting a few odd looks when I'm out and about with my scarf on but who cares - I feel better and to me that's all that matters. My family is being supper supportive although my 2 year old did say I looked like grandpa after the first shave (grandpa is a lovely bald man lol).

You sound like a wonderful woman with her (bald) head screwed on the right way! May you be blessed each day! Love your 2-year-old and to hell with the hair. Imagine all the time you'll have to play now that you don't have to wash and style your hair each day!
