Pre op/pre chemo hair cut

Evening all, I’ve got an appointment at my hairdressers tomorrow!!!

I don’t know 100% that I need chemo yet but my doctor has suggested it. I have my op on 11th Dec so I’m thinking… f*ck it! I’m getting my hair chopped off!

I have had really long hair for years and I always wear it down. I feel like going from long hair to pixie cut before chemo would be a real shock so instead I might go messy bob before the op. A more gradual change just incase :sweat_smile: I keep thinking of shaving one side or something funky also! This is literally not like me at all and I am a bit worried what people will think haha but maybe now isnt the time for those worries.

Anyone else having the same thoughts?
