The impending grey problem

Before I started getting chemo, my biggest hair concern was the number of grey hairs that seemed to be creeping in. For the most part I dealt with this as any real man would, by maintaining a strategy of denial (the girls would often try to undermine my strategy by yanking out a grey hair or two as evidence. Silly girls... as if that proved anything!).

It occurred to me the other day, that of the hair I have left (I estimate I've lost about half my hair) none of it is grey. To me that was just something to be looked at as a hidden benefit of chemo. But then yesterday, Mathilde pointed out the fact that this must mean the grey hair is the fast growing hair (chemo kills the fast growing cells). Which also likely means that when the chemo stops, I am going to see an invasion of fast growing grey hairs taking over my head.

It's time to start seriously honing my denial skills.
