The day of hair loss during chemo

In fact, we shaved our hair two days before the start of chemo, because we were already willing to donate the hair, so we cut it to about 1 mm short. The unexpected thing was that the hair was so long, 😆 about 2 weeks, that the hair grew to 3-4 mm long that I secretly thought, "Eh...Or me, we'll be with us longer than we thought. "🤔

It appears that I thought it myself. 🤣

The first time I started to notice that I lost my hair seriously was when I was exercising, playing abs, putting my hands behind my head, and when I finished playing, I brought my hands down...I stuck myself in a clutch, 😨 and I started to know, "Oh...Here you come. "😣

After the shower, I started to see hair fall on the bathroom floor, and more and more normal times on the mattress, on the clothes.

The advantage of having very short hair is that it loses and runs through the sieve of the water pipe. It doesn't pile up to panic. 😅 Ask if it's shocked, sad, worried or not? Even if you know it's going to happen, it's still a strange feeling.

But shaving your hair first helps with a lot of mental states. It's not as heavy as I first thought. 🫠

This series records the period from the onset of hair loss more than usual to the day of acceptance of the truth...Okay, we're really bald this time. 😆

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ตรงในการทำคีโม และการเผชิญหน้ากับผมร่วงที่เกิดขึ้น สิ่งที่ผมอยากจะถ่ายทอดคือความสำคัญของการเตรียมตัวตั้งแต่เนิ่นๆ เช่น การโกนผมก่อนเริ่มคีโมสองวัน นอกจากจะทำให้บริจาคผมได้แล้ว ยังช่วยลดความตกใจเมื่อผมร่วงจริง ๆ ด้วย ในช่วง 2 สัปดาห์แรกหลังโกนผม ผมสังเกตเห็นว่าผมยังยาวขึ้นอย่างรวดเร็ว ซึ่งอาจทำให้หวังเล็กน้อยว่าผมจะไม่ร่วงมากนัก แต่สิ่งที่ตามมาคือผมที่เริ่มร่วงหนักมากโดยเฉพาะหลังออกกำลังกายหรือสระผม ทำให้เห็นเส้นผมร่วงติดมือและบนพื้นมากขึ้น ข้อดีอย่างหนึ่งของการโกนผมสั้น คือเส้นผมที่ร่วงจะไหลผ่านตะแกรงท่อน้ำได้ง่าย ไม่เปลี่ยนเป็นก้อนใหญ่ในบ้าน ลดความกังวลและความรู้สึกแย่ลงได้มากทีเดียว นอกจากนี้ การมีใจที่แข็งแรงและเข้าใจว่าผมร่วงเป็นผลข้างเคียงปกติจากคีโม ช่วยให้สามารถยอมรับสภาพตัวเองได้เร็วขึ้น และไม่รู้สึกเศร้าหรือวิตกกังวลเกินไป เพราะสิ่งนี้เป็นเพียงช่วงเวลาหนึ่งก่อนที่จะฟื้นฟูสุขภาพและร่างกายอีกครั้ง สำหรับใครที่กำลังเริ่มต้นทำคีโม ผมแนะนำให้พูดคุยกับแพทย์และผู้เชี่ยวชาญเรื่องผลข้างเคียงก่อน เพื่อเตรียมใจและวางแผนรับมืออย่างถูกวิธี เช่น การใช้ผ้าคลุมผมหรือวิกผม รวมถึงหาเพื่อนหรือกลุ่มสนับสนุนที่เข้าใจ เพราะการมีเพื่อนร่วมทางที่สื่อสารความรู้สึกได้ จะช่วยให้ผ่านช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากนี้ได้ดีขึ้น ประสบการณ์นี้สอนให้รู้ว่า แม้จะต้องเจอกับความเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ไม่คาดคิด แต่การเตรียมตัวล่วงหน้าและการดูแลสุขภาพจิตด้วยตนเองเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญไม่แพ้กัน และท้ายที่สุดหัวเราก็ยังคงได้รับการดูแลและพักฟื้น เพื่อกลับมาสู่ชีวิตอย่างปกติในวันข้างหน้า
