IT IS SURVIVABLE. So start off positive and just think of
this as a temporary blip on the screen. Look in the mirror
and smile and wonder what your hair will look like when it
grows back. Many people notice changes - straight to curly,
curly to straight, different colour - who knows? Medical
treatment sent most of my hair silver grey in a few days -
but I figure it is saving me a fortune in streaks and tints
every couple of weeks. And the hair that fell out grew
back.

You did the right thing getting checked and finding out
asap, and you are doing the right thing getting treatment.

Deep breath, shoulders back and march forward knowing that
you have love and support behind you. And if you feel the
need to cry - well it's good for your sinuses as well as
your feelings sometimes so go right ahead.
