@rubysue- I agree that once you shave off the rest of your hair it might be easier to play with. I think that I accepted my cancer more when I had chemo. It's hard not to with everyone in the infusion room talking about their own. I actually had the best time when I was in chemo.
Are you tolerating the meds well?

Our chemo suite is all individual cubicles, so we don't have the opportunity to bond. I'm in northern Michigan and services are somewhat limited as far as support groups go, and COVID certainly doesn't help.

I'm struggling with the chemo this time around and I felt horrible for about 5 days after treatment. I don't tolerate the Decadron very well that they give me prophylactically....I feel like I want to jump out of my skin.!!

You give me a lot of hope though and I will get through this. Than you and God bless.
