Knowing your hair is going to
fall out just. plain. SUCKS!
So trust me, as one who’s
been through it, it’s best to cut your hair BEFORE chemo takes it out. I had
beautiful long hair and the vision of clumps of it falling out in the shower
was enough to send fits of terror down my nerves worse than the shower scene in
Psycho.
My stylist cut mine to three
quarters of an inch. I chose to pay my hair forward so that it could be used in
a wig for someone else.
Here are the photos and video
of the moment I cut my hair. Thankfully, my soon-to-be-husband (we’re getting
married September 10, 2016) and my friends were there to support me.

up (and that's my hair on the table)
I lost my hair but gained a simple
yet profound outlook, and that is, I’m just so grateful to be alive! Something
I’ve always appreciated, but now, I feel it even more. Life is more than my
hair and I have to remind myself of that.
