81 When your sister nicks your hair straighteners and says “you won’t be needing these now”

She owes me big time!! Esp now my hari is shoulder length lol Yay, it only took 4 years lol

But, she has more grey than me!!!

wow! brilliant thread for having bullet points as to what is entailed with a diagnosis of bc. Cant think of any new ones to add as i’m only new to this but its certainly enlightened me on what to expect further down the road. Binnie you made me feel my shoulder length hair and realise within the next month or so i may not see it again until i’m 50 if at all!

Love Tracey

when you could watch adverts on tv for cancer research without crying

Hi Tracey

Aww, it will grow back! Mine grew back thick and strong and with more curl in it, so no need for perms! I gave up on straightening it long ago.

Hope what I said didn’t upset you!

Lots of love Jeni x
