You look incredible! Fab figure, and a beautiful smile! Ignore what anyone says about the hairpiece, if you feel good wearing it that's all that matters, and I like it.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 24/04/2018 18:43

Thank you.

I hope all the posters who critiqued your hair are proud of them selves.
You look fab but I would save the dress for Warmer days if we ever get any.
Don’t let the bitches get you down.

It's a fur hat. Someone has commented on it and immi cannot deal with it.

Lobster please dont feel sad you look amazing, you have survived and you are a beautiful woman who is going to embrace every moment of life from now on, never ask permission to be yourself!!xx

polkadotdelight · 24/04/2018 18:55

Don't be sorry, you have been through so much and come out the other side looking bloody amazing!

Delatron · 24/04/2018 18:55

I know how you feel but it will grow back, it will amaze you how quickly. Mine came back curly but settled down. Thick as ever!

I wish people would read the thread before posting, you very clearly asked about the dress.

Those who commented on your hair should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves and I'm angry on your behalf. You have been so gracious throughout this thread.

You have a beautiful figure, face and smile. I promise you'll have the hair back before you know it.

Mercurial123 · 24/04/2018 19:01

The first thing I noticed was your smile you look happy. Chemo is a bitch nobody knows what it's like to lose their hair until they've been through it. It seems to take forever but you will get there. Ignore the posts about your hair, you look amazing.

ilovecherries · 24/04/2018 19:01

Aw, have been following this thread off and on, and somewhat horrified by some of the responses, OP. I haven't lost my hair through chemo, but I'm bald because of alopecia. I know how hard that has been to deal with, and that's hair loss without all the scary feelings and the reality of chemo to cope with as well. I wear wigs all the time, so my faux-hair radar is set pretty high, and I would not have considered that was a piece. So while I understand wanting your own hair back, this is also 'your own hair'. You may not have grown it from your head, but it's yours - and it looks as if it belongs to you. It doesn't look false, it doesn't look like a hat, it's doesn't look ugly. None of these things. The one really brilliant thing about faux hair is that you can have the style you want - so if you don't want this one, choose something else. But do it for you, not because someone made you feel bad. You look and sound like a lovely person, and I suspect you are also a very brave one. Be healthy, and never feel bad about your hair. Lots of good wishes.

Everything on you looks GREAT! The dress your arms legs face whole body/figure and you have a fabulous happiness radiating from the photo!

I know it’s natural to feel so sad when you’ve lost something so personal, especially through illness, but honestly, the hair looks absolutely fantastic in my opinion. Smile I hope you feel better soon xxx

Lobsterquadrille2 · 24/04/2018 19:10

Gosh. You are all so lovely. I'll post a photograph of my hair tomorrow. It's so awful. I used to have hair.

OP posts:
Lobsterquadrille2 · 24/04/2018 19:11

Thank you so much xxx

friskybivalves · 24/04/2018 19:15

Lobster, I didn't see the thread until just now. I started at the beginning and honestly thought, 'wow - what a vibrant, blooming, glowing woman.'

I can understand you wanting your hair back. I would be bereft without mine. But in the meantime, you still look bloody amazing. A poster-girl for positive, post-chemo life. And you'd better believe it!

Lobsterquadrille2 · 24/04/2018 19:19

I took a photograph and I simply can't do it. I'm just sitting here. When will this stop?

OP posts:
formerbabe · 24/04/2018 19:24

You look fab! I'm over ten years younger than you and I'd love to have your figure!

OverByYer · 24/04/2018 19:27

You don’t have to Lobster. Just take the good bits from this thread and walk away.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 24/04/2018 19:29

Ok, wise up. I shouldn't have posted this.

OP posts:
NellMangel · 24/04/2018 19:30

You look great - honestly!

I hope You had a fab time with DD

formerbabe · 24/04/2018 19:32

Lobsterquadrille2

Hope you're ok...you've had lots of lovely comments on here. Please focus on those.
Oh and seeing your photo has inspired me to go to the gym tomorrow!

SelkieUnderLand · 24/04/2018 19:34

You've a great figure for any age! And a great smile.

I think the dress is unflattering though. I am the same age but drawn more to a different style of dress.

SelkieUnderLand · 24/04/2018 19:37

Omg, just read what you've been through. You're amazing that you look so charismatic and happy. Grin I moan about a pain in my back.

Some of the comments shock me. You are very brave to ask for feedback. I'd never dare.
