Could I rock this Look?

 

I don’t expect many to read this today or tonight with it being fourth of July. But I thought I’d give an update.

Yesterday, I felt ok. Tad sore with movement. Today I went to get a Starbucks and made the fatal mistake of putting on a bra.

I took it off as soon as I got home. Tomorrow when I work at the church, I’ll shove extra gauze under the strap. I did discover when I changed the bandages that I have a huge bruise on my chest, I would take a picture but that would include my boob and I don’t want to get flagged for granny porn.

It’s about six inches long and four inches wide. I immediately hit doctor google and saw that it was normal to bruise and for it to even spread across the chest.

Other than that I think the stress of everything is making me tired. But I feel good.

I have a scan Monday morning and should be the last scan for 6-8 weeks. Then Tuesday, well we all know what Tuesday is.

As I said at some point, I was reading on the support group for this treatment that many women lose their hair shortly after the first treatment. So of course, I am on the wig journey and I have learned that you get what you pay for.

Two of my Shein wigs (Less than ten bucks each came in) and nothing like the pictures or the reviews! My Jocelyn wig (From, Schitt’s creek) Looks more like Debbie Does Dallas and my Merle (Devil wears Prada style wig) looks like Thelma from Mama’s Family.

The really good wigs are upwards of 400 dollars and some around a grand. My friend Jen said to reach out to the American Cancer society. So Tuesday when I see my oncologist I will get the required prescription for ‘Cranial Prosthesis’. I just want to be ready. I know Michele will come and buzz me but I will have spots. I want to wear different ones and have different personalities.

Another friend who has been there done that with BC, mailed me a box with wigs, caps and scarves, it should be here this week. I am excited. And I promise once I get them all together, I will post pictures of me in these wigs. Including Mama’s Family.

For now, I think I’ll watch some drag queens youtube videos on making a cheap wig look better. If I succeed. I’ll post pictures, if you don’t see pictures, then Mama’s Family Wig was helpless.

EDIT – Epic fail, even tips from the best drag queens can’t help. The only thing that makes this wig look better is a hat.
