4 weeks since chemo...just over 2 weeks til surgery

These dates will forever be tattooed into my brain:
diagnosis:  Dec 23, 2016
First chemo:  Feb 2, 2016
last chemo- May 24, 2016
first surgery- July 8, 2016

Every month that I get to celebrate another month since diagnosis is a victory for me.  Life will never be the same.  I look back at pictures BD (before diagnosis) and I think, "poor girl, you just have no idea what's in store for you- how your body and mind and life is going to change."  This has definitely changed me.

Speaking of change, I'm getting hair!  Well, I *think* it's hair, it feels more like peach fuzz and is coming in really really light (dare I say white?!).  I've heard that sometimes the chemo can make the first hair come in without color- so I hope that's what's happening here LOL   Here's the best picture that I can get of 4 weeks post chemo:


I do have some dark hair coming in too, but it's much shorter so hard to see.  My head kind of looks like an old man head right now, so I'm having to wear a hat when I'm out now.  It sucks because it's so hot!  I'm hoping my hair starts growing quicker and I can stop wearing the hats soon.
