I haven’t posted on my blog for a while. There’s no reason really. Just because…..
The next ‘post cancer’ stage……
The new chemo pill (preventive medicine) is booked for September. Twice a day, every day. Now, stay away cancer!! Thank you very much. 🙏🏻
Looking back from THEN to NOW, over 2 years on. As many of you know, I went on a little journey over the last time period and so did my hair!
That ‘end of tunnel’ light was very dim in December 2020! 😞 It got dimmer before it got brighter. I then started to see the light glowing through the tunnel. A few months later, the light got brighter, and then brighter still. 💫
Anyone going through the same…..hold onto hope.
I’ve been gauging my hair growth on my recovery. Why? 🤔 You may ask. I had fairly long hair before cancer, therefore the longer my hair grows post cancer, the further away from having had the disease I feel I’m getting. I suppose psychologically, in my head, it might mean I’m safer, perhaps? I’m further away from the nastiness, if that makes any sense at all? That’s how I like to look at it anyway.
The last period in pictures……
Image 1 – 3rd December 2020 (on the day of Breast Cancer diagnosis)
Image 2 – January 2021 (hair shedding) 😞
Image 3 – Feb 2021 (completely bald)
Image 4 – May 2021 (hair starts to grow back, a whispering of soft hair)
Image 5 – June 2021 (a good head coverage)
Image 6 – July 2023 (Today…..after many hair trims to keep the style shapely)
So, the longer my hair gets, the further away from having had cancer I feel. I am certainly living life to the full, unafraid to shout loudly that you, too, can live life to the full no matter what is going on for you.
Looking ahead to a BIG birthday in three years’ time, I will celebrate the life I lead every day and not just on birthdays and special occasions. Every day is a special occasion to me. #belikeabbie
