....and i can tell from reading your posts that you failed to noticed this post was from 2006
And you can tell from my profile pic that I didn't suffer any problems from dying my hair, either :o)
And, as you can tell from the picture to the left of jdwithhcv's comment you can see how she has maintained her bunny-soft hair.
I colored my hair during tx. It did not cause any problems for me, and it made me feel better to cover the gray.
FYI - I used L'Oreal Excellence. Good luck, whatever you decide.

I have always coloured my hair .... and I am due for a colouring in about 2 weeks. I just started the program Pegasys-adv on Friday and am woondering ...Is it safe to colour your hair when you are the pegasys-adv program? I just started this program and nobody seems to know the answer when I ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
good to hear that you are thinking of getting a prescription for a wig, I have a few hair pieces, a long ponytail thing, I've always liked the look...the new wigs they are making are much, much better then days of yore...they have these skull nets that really breathe so much better, etc and they can look so much more real then before as well...you might think it fun to change your look and I'm sure there are a lot of good places in the city...best of luck on this...
thanks Tot, I needed that cause waking up this morning I felt like I was 90, ha ha! took my vitamins and herbs along with an oatmeal and berries chaser, drank my berry and green tea drink, and I'm feeling a little normal again...you know when you have those heavy sleeps when youre dreaming all kinds of weird stuff and you can't wake up! anyway, hope your doing okay Tot, miss youre long stories here, why not drink a cup-a-joe and grace us with one of em!!!! (only if you want to of course, when you think about it! I just always thought they were pretty entertaining!) be well... so glad you kicked these buggers out of your system!!!
hey, send me that invite again, or maybe I just have your email with it in it, i'm soooo curious to see your new do! and maybe post it at the aussie site as a before and after, that oughta inspire the troops that you can do something fun with your hair! I'd like to do take the advice about putting a face pony tail on the back of my hair like a lot of record executives, ha ha! I just don't know that I can cut my hair short, I have a big head and I'll look funny...beach ball funny...anyway, please Doc, let us see this pic
I LOVE YOU. I can see your hair. You made me SO HAPPY!
I work at the worlds biggest hair beauty product company in the world and we own "RUSK" the punk hair designer company (you might have seen our products in the store) - and we have the hair designers who do fashion week in the city and stuff and WHY didn't I think to do the same thing?
I am going to contact the lead stylist today in the city and ask when she will be around. Then...I'm going to get her to cut it WILD and SHORT SHORT - and I'll get the wig and have TWO options to deal with!
I'm so glad to know you.

Where is the Aussie site?
I have been so busy building a deck that I have not been on line.
BTW, 2 months post treatment and my hair is still falling out. Talk about the drains, hair everywhere. They say it will stop soon. Waiting patiently for it all to stop falling out.
wells bells... we'll just make lemonade, right girls!! and the blonde thingy.... like youknow... these days its very appropriate...
I guess it's a fact we have to deal with. Mine was so thin to begin with, and I've lost so much since TX, especially in the shower.
I wash hair first then body so it doesnt get everywhere--I leanover frontwards and gently runfingers throughn to remove whats gonna come out, then its in your hands-- and do this several times and get wads of hair out or off. that way I'm not removing it from my clothes bed car etc. I wear a white tshirt and go to the mirror and look on my back and pull 20 or more hairs off shirt every time I go pee. This CAN"T go on much longer or I won't have any left.
Anybody ever post that they lost it all?
My hair recently started falling out in large quantities too. I noticed that when I brushed it I ended up with handfulls of it, and it's thin to begin with! It's also growing in lighter, or else you can just see my pale scalp glowing through, because three people last week asked me if I dyed my hair, which I haven't done in 10 years or so since high school. One guy at work saw me from behind and thought I was another woman whose hair is white, and I'm a 26 year old blond! The texture is totally different too.
This didn't start until after 4 months in (i do shot 20/48 this week). This is about the time my thyroid went crazy (Hyper then hypo--both extremely so). So it's hard to tell what is causing what, but it definitely sucks regardless. I clean my stupid shower drain every day after I shower, and we still had to do Draino yesterday. I didn't even think I had enough hair on my head to lose this much!
I am so sorry you are starting to lose your hair too. We are at the same stage of the game here a week apart. Did you see my post a few days ago about scalp pain? I have the itchiness too and have just started noticing a few more hairs here and there floating around.
Did you get Nioxin shampoo? Supposedly it does help for people on chemo. I started using it from day 1 of TX. The only thing I can say is mine is not coming out by the bunches yet so maybe it is helping?
I was just at the aussie site!!! Forseegood posted a pic... what a pretty lady....I'll try and get them to post it, a before and during treatment.....It is posted at the Tired site,... I think I sent you an invite?... maybe its in PPM at the aussie site... did I mention my hair is blond now...giggle giggle...
please ohh pleasssee post a picture on the aussie site! i betcha look AWESOME!!! you're my hero.
well yesterday, it occurred to me that I no longer have to worry about split ends, or taking care of my hair.. I already cut it way off because handfuls of 2' long hair lookkkk reealllyyy bad in the tub.. so yesterday I visited Ceasar.... told him think punk, think multiple colors, think wild hair.... today I went from grey to blonde and dark red, most of blond on the top, sides short, spikes on top, with the back combed straight up........I call it my REBEL YELL do!! keep in mind, I have never dyed my hair, never bleached it, never had a permanent, always had hippie hair... told the hairdresser I was finally in the 80s..... look out for retirement age...
Ha , you doin the riba rub too . After me shower tonite I noticed my scalp showing but I'm a dude and don't care.
I'm noticin from readin here, that it varies with diffrent folk, man the itchin, hair loss. My sheddin has been slow but if I gave a sh!t it woulda been the opposite.
Maybe I'll stuff a pillow or sumthin with the folicles.
OH YEHAY!!!! I just seen the photo, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! Great look for you!!! Looks like I keep following your "hair trends"..LOL..maybe I'll do that next! (if I got any hair left by the time I feel like goin' to get somethin done with it) ooooooooooo itchy head!!!!!!!!!!!!
