A Hair Raising Question

So Kayleigh's done quite well as far as hair loss is concerned. In the beginning, she was losing quite a bit of hair so we had her hair cut in a shorter style. She looked very cute too! Then during delayed intensification, her hair fell out more and more until she asked to have her head shaved and so we did. What a cute, perfectly little round head she has! She's just as cute as can be if I might say so myself. :) Her doctor told us that after the dose of cytoxan she had on January 27th, her hair would completely fall out in 3-4 weeks. Well, she still has quite the chickadee fuzz on top of her head. She does have spots that have no hair though too! This weekend other hair has begun to fall out, her eyebrows and lashes. This really makes her look different! She now only has eyebrows from the midpoints to the outer edge and eyelashes are missing here and there. I guess I didn't think about this hair falling out. She still has a few days until it's been four weeks since the cytoxan. I'm wondering if she's going to end up losing all of her hair as the doctor said she would or beat the odds.

  1. I know Ally went forever and we totally thought she was going to escape the last hair loss. And then weeks later it all fell out. Well actually it got so irritating again, we had to shave it. You are almost there sister. I can't wait to see if it is curly or straight!
