I have what's called "chemo fuzz." My hair is growing in, although not as thick as before and not exactly the same color. Last night, Rachel rubbed her hand over my head and said, "Michael, come quick! Mommy's head feels like a peach!"
Yup, I have true peach fuzz. It's soft to the touch. It's black and white and reddish/blond! My hair won't truly grow back until post-chemo, but this is a start. We'll see then as to its true color and whether it will have the same texture or body as before.
Also, if you notice, my bald head is beginning to get a wee bit tanned! It's no longer as stark a contrast with the color of my face. I wear a hat whenever I go out here in northwest China as we live at a mile high altitude and the sun can be quite harsh. However, in Hong Kong, it's just way too hot to wear a hat! I put a bit of sunscreen on my head and go from there.
I'll post a better picture later. I got new glasses yesterday and I want you to see them . . . but I just woke up and I'm vain enough to say that I don't look my best right now! :)
