***I apologize – it seems as if there have been some technical difficulties with the blog and my posts weren’t showing the last few days so I’ll repost them in the coming days.***
Houston – we’ve got hair coming back! Tom’s hair is actually coming back fierce and unfortunately we didn’t time it out well with the Chia race. Tom wanted to hold off on the chia pet until he knew for sure he didn’t have more chemo. However, by the time we found out we were cancer free the top of Tom’s head had some growth.
So the race has started a little late – but the Chia is making up for lost time and Tom is on a mission to get his hair back! Surprisingly, his eyebrows have come back very quick and they were the last thing to go. Our oncologist told us that it’s not uncommon for the texture or color to change, but so far it looks like not much has changed. The color seems a bit lighter to me, but that may just be because there is still so little versus when he will have a full head of hair.
While it may seem insignificant – Tom is so excited to start to have his hair back because he doesn’t feel like he looks sick, and it makes everything seem more normal. Plus, he’s thrilled that it’s coming back now so he can potentially go back to work with a full head of hair versus the patchiness as it grows back. Beyond the hair growth, life is slowly getting back to normal, in a strange new way. More to come on that tomorrow…
