Hang in there both of you. I went through chemo 3 years ago. At the time, it seemed like the treatment and the baldness were forever, but my hair started growing as soon as the chemo stopped - 1/2 an inch a month just like all the stuff I read said - and curly! The curls lasted about 9 months, and then I had to have a haircut, and my hair sort of went back to 'normal.' May you both be blessed with both hair and curls!!!

Meanwhile, PM me with your addresses, and I'll send you a charming knit hat that I made for myself from eyelash yarn. Let me know if you have a favorite color, because I may have one that color! I cleaned them after I no longer needed them, and I give them to chemo-sisters. I finished chemo in Dec '08, and I needed the hats to keep warm - all the heat in your body goes out through your head, and it goes out faster when there's no hair to insulate you! I even wore a hat in bed.
