Et voilà!

I'm writing this from my own couch, watching my own TV. I'll be sleeping in my own bed tonight. I'm surrounded by my sweet furry bunnies who are hopping around the apartment. I decided to go home before radiation will start. I will start treatment next Tuesday. After radiation (21x), before chemo starts, we (= bunnies + me) will go back to my parents. From then on, we'll see how it goes. I've noticed it's better not to plan too far ahead. When you're having a good day, celebrate it. When you're having a bad day, accept it.

I have found my wig. It's short and curly. It's very me. When you take a look at the picture remember that I still have my own hair underneath there, so it'll fit better when I'm actually bald. Et voilà!


The sweet girl from the store told me that we had plenty of time left and that she could give me a hair cut that would match the wig. I always loved my long curls. They always have been my trademark sort of. But it wasn't a hard decision, I want to get used to the short length before starting chemo. I'm pretty happy with the result. It feels so light! Et voilà! Et voilà!


Enjoy your weekend everybody!

  3. Beautiful Ciel! The wig is very natural looking... glad you could get home too! So nice to be in your own space.

    Yep... take each day one day at a time... I learned that too that it's smart not to plan too far in advance. You never know how you will feel. I am already noticing that I am pretty tired from radiation. Only completed 10 days so far and I am pretty exhausted.

    Hope you enjoy the next few times nestled at home. Enjoy your weekend! xo
