Make sure you ring the cancer Council for support if you have no one else to talk to. Yes I too look at my new head always covered with a turban and can’t imagine looking like I used to. Just try and &nbsp;take one day at a time and hopefully life will get better soon. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":purple_heart:">💜</span> Linda G</P> Sat, 24 Jul 2021 04:20:06 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Need-Support/m-p/38146#M6618 LindaG 2021-07-24T04:20:06Z
