Congrats on your hair!!! I was thrilled to see the little bristles returning to my head! Lost my hair 3 times during my extended chemo and bone marrow transplant. When it finally reemerged, this time for keeps, my lifelong super straight hair came in looking much like Christopher Walken. Giggle. Very course texture, standing stick straight in the air like a long flattop as it grew! Sides were baby fine though. Weird. Now, a year later I’m loving my hair. It’s all the same texture and the coarseness keeps it puffy on the top. Never had that luxury before! Enjoy!! The only drawback is now daily I have to style my hair. It was much easier with just a quick wash and pat dry. LOL.

Congratulations! i really admire you for coming out on the other side. Chemo is horrible! It really does feel strange to step in the shower and not automatically bend over to shampoo long hair. I'll be very happy to look like Christopher Walken if that's what I end up with. Right now, I just marvel at having the fuzz. When I was in radiation they told me they could see some hair coming in; I sure hadn't seen any sign of it and figured maybe I'd be one of those who never gets it back..
