Hasani,

Didn't I exchange a couple of emails with you at some point not long after I lost my hair?  Maybe it was when I announced that I was cutting it off the day before chemo started.  I'm glad to hear you are in remission.  I find out in May if I am.

In case I am thinking of someone else, I was diagnosed January 27, 2003 with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I lost my hair mid-February.  Then I was pounded with treatments for a long time.  At some point my diagnosis was changed to something like Advanced Resistant Hodgkin's, but I can't remember the exact terminology.  I kept working off and on until September.  Then my disability kicked in, and I had to stop working.  I had to have a bone marrow transplant.  Those are yucky!  That is my brief version of the last year.  I just finished radiation early February.  Preliminary tests look good, but I won't know until May if I'm in remission.

I know what you mean about looking at the mirror and doing a double-take.  I still have long hair when I dream, so it is so hard to get used to having no hair, or very short as the case is right now.

How long is your hair now, if you don't mind saying?  I was measured at an inch late February.  I know it is a touch longer, but I'm not sure of the current length.

I'll shut up for now.

Peace,

Kari
