All of my hair fell out today
Today was a great day! About 2:30PM I was rubbing my head as usual since it has been so dang itchy this week and then I looked at my hands and I had a lot of stubble on them. I did it again and there was even more. I got so excited so I went to the bathroom sink and put some water on my head and rubbed again, I was in shock of how much stubble was in the sink. I can't believe it took almost 4 weeks to the day of my first treatment to fall out completely, I began to wonder if I would be the first person ever whose hair didn't fall out on AC chemo and yet I took it upon myself to shave it off after two weeks. The reason I was so excited, like it was my birthday or something is because I couldn't wait for it to all fall out. I knew the itching would subside and then my hats and wig wouldn't stick like Velcro to it anymore. I got in the shower and rubbed and rubbed until it was all gone. I have a few stragglers left but I know they will come out any time now. Sometimes, it's the little things that make you happy. Now, the next time I have stubble and itching I will be super excited again because that means my hair will be starting to grow back and that is my reward for finishing the treatments!
