I lost my hair to chemotherapy. I don’t wear the wig because it hangs wrong, and I think it makes me look like a man with a woman’s wig. I was always jeans and T-shirt. I loved those clothes because you can do just anything in them.
Having no hair just makes you want to do something to make yourself look more ‘girlie’ – you somehow feel your feminine side had been stolen away and you want it back. Now I wear either skirt and blouse, or if going for a walk on a good day, jeans and blouse, I wear a lot more makeup, and have had my ears pierced
I went to see my father yesterday, he hasn't been to see me since I have been ill, so I had to make the effort. He flew off the handle. War paint, earrings, short skirt (it is actually below the knee) - Sarah, you look like a f**king common sl*t.
I've spent the last 2 night crying my eyes out. I have virtually no sleep for 2 days. I can cope emotionally with the cancer, but not this.
Am I a weak person or would anyone be like a nervous wreck?
