I had forgotten about this until I was just now reading the thread about strange public reactions to our hair. So far, I haven't gotten any strange reactions, but I did receive a wonderful compliment the other day.

DH and I had gone to the hospital where I had all of my surgeries and cancer treatments one day last week for my X-rays and DEXA scan. In between my appointments, we went to the cafeteria to get a bite to eat. At a table near us sat a few ladies who obviously were there on their lunch break. One of them was the receptionist for one of my doctors who has been with me since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When she recognized me, she said hi and immediately her eyes got wide and she said, "Your HAIR! You have so much of it!" I had my hair up that day in a kind of hurried get-it-off-my-neck updo with a clip I had in my purse. So I reached up and removed the clip. She literally squealed when my hair tumbled down.

Now, I know my hair is just APL right now, but she has seen me with no hair, no makeup, and no boobs. So I was looking pretty darn good with all three that particular day!:sun:

Your hair is beautiful! I'm sorry you had to go through the whole cancer thing, but I hope you continue to get better and better!

Look at how long it is getting. Very soon you will be hearing these kinds of things from people who don't even know the history!

That was so sweet of her to notice, and say something. APL is my next goal, I can't wait!
