cewe fight breast: Bald Is Beautiful.......I Beg To Differ!

Well I did it. Or should I say Ryan did it. I can fully blame him. As I mentioned in my earlier post, my hair really started thinning and falling out the past two days. It was difficult to fix and was becoming a real pain. The funny thing was I had two different nurses at Siteman tell me how great my wig looked yesterday. All I could do was laugh and then I told them it was my real hair. They couldn't believe it because normally my hair would have already fallen out. Then, two other ladies went on and on about how cute my haircut was. Just what I need to hear on the day I am preparing to shave my head!

Last night when I got home I just felt it was mentally time to do it. I wasn't really all that nervous, and to be honest, my scalp was starting to get very tender from all the dead hair. I was worried about waking up in the morning with hair all over my pillow or hair falling out in Charley's breakfast or some other meal I might be preparing. So, I decided that Aug. 27th, 2008 would be the last time I would give in to my cancer journey. The chemo is giving me my life and from here on out, the cancer that I once had can take nothing more from me. The one positive thing, I was really impressed with the shape and size of my head. No wierd moles or birthmarks that I didn't know about. All the hair that is left on my head will go ahead and fall out in a couple of days and then I will officially be slick. I hate to say it, but Britney Spears doesn't have anything on me!

I have posted a few pics of us below, but if you want to see how it all went down, click on the album below. All I ask is that you don't cry. That would be allowing cancer to do it's job. Rejoice and be happy. I am, why shouldn't you!?

Now you see it...............
