Wig shopping.....

Today was the day that i went shopping for my wig. As you all know, I will be starting chemo therapy on Wednesday March 23, 2016. So, with this lovely treatment that I will be receiving, one of the many side effects is total hair loss.  I am ready to face this head on and I accept that my hair will fall out, I don't like it but I don't have much of a choice, I choose life over hair. 

So my cousin and I headed to a wig shop Mama Africa, there were so many styles, colors and lengths to choose from.  I would've loved to go blonde or maybe a redhead but reality was I wanted something as close as possible to my natural hair.  Some of you may ask why, but I am doing it for my daughter, I do not want to frighten her with a sudden change.  Therefore I will cut my hair very short, as soon as I get the courage to have my cousin do it, my husband will also shave his head ( love him to pieces). Deciding a new look is great, but when one is forced upon you it is harder to face it.  

The experience of wig shopping was great, I tried on a few, more or less the same style just a little longer or darker, realized that I was not made to have very long hair. When I put on the wig I finally purchased, I just knew it was perfect for me. It was as though it was made for me and looked so natural, I felt comfortable and knew that it was the one, so I bought it. Thank you Angie for all your time and research and always being there. 

After this whole roller coaster of emotions, I decided to go and see the girls at work.  It was great seeing everyone and chit chatting, thank you all for your support. 

So now I am ready to "fight like a girl" and start the next round of my battle.
