Prayers up again.
My wife did the same in a way and it took a little while before hers began to come out in clumps and then she asked me to shave it off. Have her inquire on the 2nd floor and they have a huge wig selection and insurance will cover it, just one. The wig route lasted about 3 weeks and it was just too hot so it turned to scarves and hats and she liked that route far better.
It's gonna get a bit rough when it happens and her self image/self esteem will take a big hit but she's the same person inside. You've gotta prop her up and she will be fine.

Her second treatment was this past Friday, Sept. 1st. A few days before, she started loosing her hair. It was only a little at first, now it's coming out in clumps. She's going to get it shaved, today; I'm not sure how she (or I) will handle that. Konnor stayed with my dad and stepmom over the weekend. We've been trying to explain to him that momma is sick, and that the medicine she's taking is going to make her feel bad and that her hair will fall out. It didn't really register with him till this morning when he saw her try to push her hair behind her ear, and the whole handful came out. He told her it'll be OK. He's going with her for the shaving; I hope they're both OK.
The second chemo definitely hit her harder than the first. She slept almost all day, Saturday, and did have some nausea. She feels better after a day or so, but I'm afraid that rebound time might get to be less and less as her body gets more of the poison in it.
I thought this would get easier, as we got into it.
I was wrong.
Thanks everyone, for the continued prayers.

Like has been said above, Kevin, I don't know you but have read a lot on here. Your family has our prayers. Breast cancer runs in my wife's family, so it has been a constant fear for us. So far, we have been very lucky. There is so much to say and no words to say them with, PRAYERS going up for ya'll!
