Lucky to wear a wig huh!!! people have no idea, my wig is really like my own hair and people say how fab it looks, but what i hate sooooooooooo much is how much people say how my hair suits me short too, i so hate it i cant tell you! it is like Rosie Webster from Corrie, i hate it so much it hurts, i just want to brush my hair even down to my shoulder would do!!!
Also when i am tired, people say, oh you should get up as early as me, drive as much as me, work the hours i do, etc etc, they dont get it, its a totally differnt kind or tired and cos i rest as encouraged by my onc and doct, listen to ur body etc, my friends and well meaning people say, to get out of the habit, not sleep !!!"£%^&argh!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxi know they mean well i really do, but they dont get it at all the only person who understand the tiredness is my aunty who has gone through same as me xxxxxxx
Hi
nice to know I may have long lost sisters out there!!! The only time Ihear from my mam is when something goes wrong in her life, I don’t evevn know if she knows I have bc cos I didn’t tell her as there is no point!! She would only make me feel worse by telling me doom and gloom stories.
Parents can be a nightmare but it has made me vow to be a better mam than I have!!!
as for the wig, buy a big pink clown one and stick it on her head or maybe one of those dunce caps !!
best wishes M
This one wasn’t particularly well meaning, but had to post it!!
My friend and her 26 year old daughter called round for a cuppa, lovely you would think. Until the daughter asked if she could ask a question, of course can I reply.
Que CORKER alert!!!
“Do you wash and condition your head even though you have no hair, and is it the same feeling as when men go bald”
reply “I’m sorry I’ve never been a bald man so I really couldn’t tell you”
WTF!!! lol!Bless her, she’s never been the sharpest knife in the drawer!
My friend had the good grace to look embarrassed, but we’ve been friends a long time and just smirked at each other.
This thread is a lifesaver, I can come on here and post instead of telling people to jog the F@*k on!!! heehee!
That’s a good question actually.
I was using shower gel to wash my head. Then when I used my facial cleanser I decided to continue up and over and wash my head at the same time. My hair started growing back about the same time… so I wonder??..
Love to all
June
The initial question was fine like you say June, don’t mind anything thought provoking, but I’m really not sure how she thought I was ever going to be able to tell her how it compared to being a bald man!!! lol!
the thing that is really getting my goat atm is people who i love saying “i wish i could have it instead of you”…like…i’d be delighted to hand it over and then deal with them having cancer!!!
and like so many before me…today i finally gave in a shaved the remains of my hair…and it must have been all of 10 mins {the family arrived} before i’d had half a dozen “gosh you look like sinead o’conner”'s, several “i never knew bald would suit you”'s and the real killer…{i have lost 7lbs this week due to nausea/vomiting}…
“CANCER REALLY SUITS YOU…IT MAKES YOU LOOK THIN!!!”
i did just about manage not to thump my sister as i realised she was trying really hard to be supportive…but honestly!!!
Just a reminder to all nearest and dearest - has anyone seen Sinead O’Connor recently!!??

Hats off to you Whiffy for keeping your cool, but like you say and the title of this thread suggests, they mean well xxx
Never forget folks, as soon as you’re diagnosed with breast cancer you automatically become brave and inspirational and have a beautifully shaped head…

Having been diagnosed yesterday i am so glad i have a well shaped head, it makes all the difference. rosemay
…with neat little ears that don’t remind anyone of the FA cup when there’s no hair to hide behind… 
Everyone says that I have a great shaped head too! Are you saying that it’s not true?!! Ha ha.
The specialist, when he gave me my diagnosis, said that he could walk out of the hospital and be run over by a bus. I said - yes - driven by me!
I also hate it when people say things like ‘Chin up’ and ‘Cheer up’. Grrrrrrr.
oh no Alto, i thought it was just me who was brave and inspirational and have a beautifully shaped head.
all the people who say ‘you can carry it off but i never could’ make me want to thump them.
And if you don’t get “you look like Sinead O’Connor” you get “you’re a ringer for Sigourney Weaver”. Never mind Ripley in Aliens, I looked more like the flipping alien. (And there are those who would say that even though I have hair now that they’d have trouble telling the difference. But they just end up with black eyes if they say it out loud.)
Hehe i havent shown many people my egghead but the few that have seen it have mentioned sinead oconnor grrrr and they think they are being original!
Someone did actually say demi moore in gi jane but ive decided to accept that one as have been told i look a little like demi moore before the hair loss so im letting that one ride
My husband said that I looked like Gollum from Lord of the Rings! I had to admit he had a point but that was after he had regained consciousness and had been moved from intensive care!

Oh! BBB thank you so much for that laugh, I really needed it! Hope poor dh has now recovered! Xx
along with the well shaped head -don’t forget how extremely lucky you are as breast cancer is the “best” one to get !i personally would rather be lucky on the euromillions ha ha .
i’ve just remembered my nowty hairdresser said to me-i’ve heard of loads of people recently like you-it makes you wonder if the machine was working properly !!! going to find a new hairdresser lol
I got told ‘well at least you’ll lose weight on chemo’ Charming!
