Hi Bethie! I too shaved off ALL my hair about a week before I started chemo. I didn't want to have it all over my pillow or anywhere else! friends threw a "head shave party" for me, where everyone took turns using the clippers! You have a very nice shaped head, like I was told I do, so rocking the bald look was easy for me. I just put my big girl panties on and threw on some lipstick, some hoop earrings, and an awesome pair of heels, and went out like that. Sure, I got stares, but if people stare its probably because they are jealous of your perfect shaped head and they can't rock it bald like we can!

Hi Bethie,

Thank you so much for the kind words you gave me. I love how you dealt with your situation too you seem like such a strong lady thats for sure. I look forward to following your story to see how things are going for you. Thanks again for your encouraging words.

Wow. You have been through so, so much. You are an amazing person. I can never express how PROUD I am of you. You are a shining example to all of us. Thank you for your selflessness. You are a joy!

Hi Bethie, yep "boyfriend" scat after learning my caregiver services would be diminished by my cancer. He let me go alone to face the tests/news. Glad you have your BFF and she has you. Have a happy cancer journey. You know that is a reference to that dreadful personal product ad.

Welcome to the site. You will find that this site is full of friendly people who are here for you and ready to listen when you need to vent or sound off. We all have been there and have had days that were not so good and made us unhappy or angry and it helps to sound off to people who have been there and understand. Don't be afraid to ask questions either. No question is silly or dumb on this site. We are here to help each other and questions are one way we all can help with answering them from our experiences. Sometimes getting another person's point of view can be very helpful. Good luck to you.
