Uggs At Disney World Can Wear

Help - hair

One of the doctors said after diagnosis, "Your hair will grow back after chemo, young women have to say that ...!" - For me, it was at that moment already completely clear that the chemo would cure me, but just even with side effects. I have my long hair plaited into braids and then cut off for even braid braid. I have kept them, I felt good during the treatment: keep in mind that you will again have to feel well and braids hair, I find it important. But all in all it's only hair. You get a wig covered by insurance and this should also find it so difficult, search for directly before treatment nor as long as one does not have own hair so the wig suits you and not unnatural acts. I opted for a wig, because it was summer and would not have fitted easily to me. Even before the "real" hair loss began, I cut my own hair cut short with nail scissors to a few millimeters - and then during hair loss (2 weeks after starting treatment) with self-adhesive Lint, which are available in any drugstore or in some H & M's, to go about it. The scarves were colorful - and sometimes when I was attacked because people thought I was Muslim, which made me just proud.
Once treatment is completed, grows quickly fluff. And it's just exciting to see how developed the hair structure. I first got curls. Today, my hair is smooth again, but much more than before.
shampoo keeps forever the way - I did it then just kept in the dark.
Cheer up: you are beautiful even without hair!

How Will Go The Velankannai

Help - life after cancer

Part Five of my series: The Life, "then" is very different than before. It is a survivor, a Survivor. One moment you feel: There may be a blow anything really. The next moment, but one is weaker than before. Tired. Quickly out of breath. Also sensitive . Less willing to live unhealthy, because it could all too quickly become ill. You can quickly - and longer - are simply more susceptible to colds or anything. But you know that it will pass.
And then you have every few months the dimwitted follow-up appointments at the clinic, where one catches the experience and simply only wants to get out.
BUT: If you then get out and the doc said that everything is fine - that's the best feeling of all. Live! Breathe! Get out! I usually then go buy new clothes because I'm so happy then. Or in the cafe where I celebrated my successful treatment for me and tell me where the elderly lady then asked if I really trust among people, because of the risk of infection.
life after cancer has also the advantage that you really forget the little things no longer respected. The hairs start to grow. It is exciting to see what develops out of this little gray fluff. I only get curls - and unfortunately not keep. But anyway, there are just hair!
We must go at any time and meet with people - without mouth protection. One can relatively quickly cycling and walking longer distances - for the treatment have been impossible for me. I needed for a five-minute stretch-five minutes, because I still think if I wander along the road grateful.
By swimming I had to wait a while until my doctor said that immune system had recovered. The fatigue is so bad for some time now. You get used to it - and a reading day is also something beautiful. Sure, you can also partying again, but the Insichhineinhorchen should simply never forget.
Life is a gift. When it was almost arrested and one was returned, you keep it happy for a while.
At this point only remains for me, Samuel Beckett with the slogan on a postcard to quote: "The goal of life is life itself" and to say: Live!
