They warned me that chemotherapy will cause hair loss, so I’m prepared for temporary baldness. But nothing has happened for two weeks…until yesterday.
I have thick hair (with a little balding beginning in the back) so this is going to be a mess. Last night in the shower I shampooed and rinsed and noticed, not dozens, but hundreds of hairs on the floor. Then when towel drying, hundreds more came off in the towel! At this rate, in couple of days I’ll be a chrome dome.
What about body hair? I’m not quite Sasquatch but that’s going to make a dramatic cosmetic change…no details offered. (Although as a preview they had to shave various regions of my chest for the port install and electrodes at last week’s cardio-tests. I look like an old teddy bear mauled by the family dog.)
Brother Wayne tells of his sister’s chemo experience. She lost all her hair, including her nose hairs. Imagine their purpose of filtering and protecting, gone.
Maybe all those old-man-ear-hairs will vanish too. But, can I keep my eyebrows?

Uncharacteristically for me, I often find myself at a loss for words in commenting. But I’m glad that you are articulating with candor yet with your natural sense of humor what’s going on for you in these updates, Bob. Of course I imagine you will eventually post pics. As always, sending you healing prayers.

What a gentleman you are! Making it easier for the Lord to count the hairs on your head. I guess Bald Cook has a similar ring as Bob Cook.
Thank you for sharing and allowing your family and friends the opportunity to communicate to you how much you’re loved and appreciated. See you at church next Sunday with maybe a new look. Keep on praising. Love you brother.
