joanie55 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well, it seems that I will start my new journey on Monday a.m. I saw the radiologist today and it went well. I feel extremely positive, even though what I have is slightly different than most, being it is on the outside of my brain, to put it simply. I know there is a bunch of us that recently joined this club and/or about to and I've been thinking about you all. I'll get a real short funky haircut this weekend and maybe even a new color until its gone. That should be fun. Let you know how things go.

mary colleen Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 You will look great with short hair! I know this takes some courage (again - have read your story), but your attitude is so strong that I know you can do it. mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebywater Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Thinking of you! And I hope we get to see pics of the haircut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marym Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi Joan, I suspect I'll become a member, too - and we both need to do what we need to do. I'm glad I have a respite until after the holidays for a decision. And I am staying hopeful that I might be fortunate enough to show no change with the next MRI. I have "thinned" my hair to the point of almost no hair - and I've purchased a few wigs. Usually, I wear them to dinner - but just use a hat most of the time. Son haircut is needed for me! I am sorry you need to go through this, and hope you find it not too difficult. When/if you have a chance, please let me know how the radiation goes day to day - fatigue level, burns, etc. I assume you're on a 3 week plan? Very best wishes, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ursol Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Joan, I am praying for you and hopeing that you only have very mild side effects. I had my Gammaknife procedure today and for know I was told I would only join the WBR club if this doesn't work. Would love updates on you do with this and the effects. My thoughts are with you as you proceed and my expecation is that you will handle this fine as you seem to be so very strong with an incredible attitude.

Geri Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I say chartreuse, hot pink, cobalt blue or a nice shade of lime green would look really cool on your short hair! Hoping for the best results. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi Joanie. Been gone for a coupla' days, so I have missed what you have been going through. Sounds like you have a working plan. Good luck at the haircolor aisle. Those new red/reds are really something..(the Kelly Osborne red). I double dare you. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nushka Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I haven't been on that ride but hope yours is easy. They tell me you will be tired so less hair might be a good thing...no fussing with it each day. I am just kidding about the hair...I lost mine for a while and I didn't like it at all. There are some pretty good wigs out there though and some really cute hats. Prayers that this works and that you feel well through it.

Ann Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Jaonie....I'll be saying lots of prayers for you as you begin this "new journey." Knowing you have so many wonderful people from this board cheering you on should make things a lot easier! Just remember how loved you are by all of us!
