Baby Bald Eagle


January 30, 2011

What does a baby bald eagle have to do with anything, well let me tell you? I have been so excited about my hair growing back in, I have read every blog conversation posted that I could possible find. I may be jumping the gun from what some of the conversations have said. One of the chemo medications that I had in the beginning causes women to never have hair growth again, really. I guess this chemo treatment is one of the newer forms of chemo and these women have a whole site of women that have this problem and are trying to sue the makers. One of the ways you know your hair might not grow back is if the top of your head gets shinny. Now I’ve been busy every time I see a bald man to check out if the top of his head is shinny and guess what they are. And I don’t think they shine them on purpose, but I’m really not sure. I think it might just happen! My head is not shinny so I guess that’s a good thing.


Other sites talk about how long it took for their hair to return, some seem to take longer than others and some seem just more positive than others. I have read that your new hair will come back curly or even a different color than you had before chemo.


I’ve tried but only found a few who talk about this hair that is growing on my head right now. It would remind you of the feathers or baby fuzz on top of a baby bald eagles head, I’m not kidding. At first it was a little alarming all this fuzzy stuff growing on top of my head, what in the world would I do with this. Seems it’s just the hair follicles being confused, they don’t know what they are suppose to do and they have no pigment so they have no color and supposable this would go away.
So I purchased some really expensive shampoo and conditioner to help with hair growth and am hoping for the best. I’ll post a picture a soon as I have some hair to share!
