    Thank you so much! I actually have been done since August wit chemo, I had no hair at all during either. I documented it at:



    I was a mess during chemo. I use Anastasia Dipbrow on my eyebrows, they have come in very sparse since treatment, I used to have caterpillar looking eyebrows! My hair came back my natural color, very light ashy brown. Congrats on your recovery, and on your surgery decision. I wish you all the best. Survivors have to stick together!

    Still no date, got my approval but waiting on a date. I swear this process damn near makes a person lose it. I'm expecting a call tomorrow.

    I know your frustration, as I was in that headspace until two weeks ago when my Insurance approval finally came through after about 9 months since starting the process. Within the space of those two weeks I've met my surgeon to schedule surgery for 6th March and my dietician to go through the pre op 16 day diet. You're almost there!

    Like you, I found the last two months particularly difficult as it seemed there were nothing but obstacles constantly being put in my way, so keep calm and you'll get there!



    Thanks, I'm trying to keep myself busy, I got some small furniture pieces to repaint so I'm distracted this weekend!

    Still waiting on a date. This is so frustrating. Got my last clearance Tuesday, and they said the scheduler had 31 people ahead of me. I was ready to flip a table. I started this process in July. My insurance required a six month period of medically supervised weight loss. Now, I'm in month 7, almost month 8, and I'm feeling like I'm going to lose my mind. My motivation has been next to nothing and I'm eating like crap. I don't want to start sabotaging the progress I've made so far, but my anxiety is through the roof, and all this waiting has me totally in a funk. I feel like it's never going to happen at this rate. I'm frustrated and losing steam.

    I too have short red hair, although it's somewhere between strawberry blonde and ginger, and its mostly natural, no dark roots. Have you heard the one about red-haired drivers? We are similar to blondes except we convince you it's Your fault the day-um accident happened. We are supposed to be becoming extinct, our ancestors came from the Neander Forest of Germany (or so they say). Well theres a whole bunch of us here in Ohio,, maybe not as much as Minnesota where they are Scandinavian but a lot of English, Scotch Irish and my area of Ohio- Dutch and German. Whole family on Mamma's side Blonde, Red with green or brown eyes, although I'm hazel green. Daddy's side Lancastershire in England although there's some Native American nobody wants to admit, high cheekbones and tan out super easy in the summer. Most of us Americans are " mutts" if you get down to it, but I prefer to call it hybrid strength.Glad you made it to the other side of chemo otherwise I'd never met you. Take it easy and gave a good day.

    Wow. That's awesome. I was still in chemo for a few months so in my pre surg diet I only lost 17 pounds but I still have about six weeks to go, so who knows.

    So where exactly is your surgeon? How much longer do you have until surgery day? Looks like mine will be within 6 weeks although I don't have a firm date yet. It has been a journey and it still continues.

    I'm having surgery at Silver Cross in New Lenox. My surgeon is Dr. BRIAN Lahmann. I'm waiting on the pulmonologist to give his clearance and he's being a ****** about the Cpap compliance. So I'm hoping about 6 weeks or less, we may end up surgery buddies!
