It got bad really fast. I was tired of every time I moved having chunks of hair fall out. I couldn't even touch my head without hair coming out. I was plugging up the shower drain and getting a nice receding hairline. I didn't care for it to go that way so on Sunday I told Trent that he could shave it off...
I still had a lot of hair on my head... but really... I didn't want to wait until I had five hairs on my head and feel like a total old man with a comb over so we shaved it pretty early. I'm glad that we did...
Tru stood on the counter and watched the whole thing. He kept pointing at my head and saying, "Funny Mom... funny!" At least someone thought it was funny. He looks at me funny now but he's not scared of me. He wont touch my head, he thinks that it's weird.... it is weird.I do have some pictures of my shaved head but honestly... I'm so not ready to show people my bald head. I'm not comfortable with it. My friend Heidi came over Sunday night and saw it but halfway through our conversation I decided that I'm not ready for that and put a hat on. Makes this cancer stuff just all too real. Plus, I don't feel good right now. This treatment has been a beast so I don't feel like getting dolled up and taking a decent picture of my head. Maybe someday but not today...
I just wanted to give a little update... yes it did happen. I'm sad that my hair is gone. I've been really sick this time around so I'm not feeling so hot. But if you are waiting with baited breath to see my bald head it's not going to happen any time soon...

Meg... Lots of love to you! Hang in there. I know you are beautiful! No need to put pix of you up...we all know how pretty you are! I hope you are being taken care of during this last tough treatment! XOXOXO...
That's ok, Meg. Don't feel like all of us who read your blog or facebook expect you to show us. You aren't on display and I know I can safely say that those of us following are interested in how you are feeling, not how you look. I'm sorry treatment is making you sick. Stay strong and determined and keep looking for happy, funny things each day. Keeping your mind distracted is a huge help. I have nothing to compare to how you are feeling except being so sick with this pregnancy, but even that probably doesn't compare. It was really hard to be happy, but I found when I got myself distracted life was a little bit better. Thinking of you!
Meg,
I am so sorry. I am so sorry that you are feeling so nasty. And I'm sorry that you lost your hair. I know what a big deal that was for you, and my heart goes out to you.
Don't feel like you owe anyone anything: pictures, feeling good, etc. We love you.
I'm sorry you're feeling so sick, we are praying for you!
I am glad you are standing up for yourself. I, too, hope you feel better soon. I will call you. Are you out of ice cream? Vanilla? Cookies and Cream? I'll get a variety.
Hun, you're the world display, don't feel obligated to show pictures! We love your sweet words! Keep your chin up. I hope you feel better soon.
I can't even imagine how hard that would be. I think everyone who loves you can understand you don't want to post pictures. I am sorry you are feeling lousy. For those of us that can't be there to help, I hope that the people out there are taking really good care of you. I hope this hard time goes quickly. I know with my trial lately, that is all that I could really hope for. I knew the trial wasn't going away, so if time could just fly by then that would help. So, I will pray that time flies.
Meg, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. You may never get used to being bald in public. Only a hand full of friends and family saw me with out a hat or scarf for months. But then for Halloween I decided to play it up and went capless to work. Bloodied up and everything. I hope you can embrace it eventually.
I don't blame you one bit! Please know that I'm thinking of you and would love to help in any way!
