Hi Tamara, how are you doing? If you are having some difficulties, I would be glad to help. I wrote a book which a lot of women feel has helped them. You can check it out on my page.
Let me know! LeslieAnn

Hello Tamara, I believe that it really deppends on the wig, If you want the headline to look a bit more natural you need some babyhairs, if yours do what you can try to do is Use a smaller brush or a Qtip to apply the glue, so that way you wont have an excesss of glue. Hope this helps and If you have anyother question just let me know. Love Gracie xx

I live in Folkestone England, a bit dull yet peaceful town. You live in the Bahamas!! There you go something to make you feel better. Thanks for comment on the blog.

I am making a deposit on my first wig tomorrow. A lace wig.
I am quite excited, it will take 4 weeks to get here so I cant wait.

Hi Everybody

I came to the conclusion that the cream I am using is not working. Discovered that one spot got larger and shinier and another is becoming more defined. Very disappointing.

Yep it was May of this year. When I first noticed the spots it was pretty much denial shortly followed by depression. But luckily, I found this website right away and I was able to reach acceptance very quickly and my sadness was very short lived. :o)

Hi Tamara! I saw your post in the Newly Diagnosed group. Just wanted to comment on that that it seems to fall out at different rates for everyone. I was diagnosed on May 2nd. So far I've lost about 60% of my hair, I'd say. There's really no way to know what will happen and when.

I'm so jealous that you live in the Bahamas! I LOVE the Caribbean. I've been to the Bahamas once, but not since I was much younger. I'm going to St. Maarten next March for the 3rd time. I LOVE island life!

Hugs,
Mandy
