No More Hair

Our kids are incredible people! Of course, I'm biased, but they continue to amaze us with their strength & positive attitudes as we journey down this detour in our life. Yesterday my hair was dramatically falling out and it was becoming an annoyance. I knew the time had come to shave it off. At dinner we explained to the kids that another side-effect of chemo is that I will lose my hair. They were intrigued at the idea of me being bald. Then I asked if they wanted to cut all my hair off because it was becoming disgusting. They were excited to become hair cutters. They rounded up all the scissors and put on aprons. They were anxious to even try on my new wig. It was truly a fun family event. I'm so thankful we decided to involve them in the process. For our family, it was the right thing.

I feel so relieved to be past this milestone in my treatment. My hair is gone and I feel so freed from the anxiety and fear. It's really not that bad. I'll post a photo of me & my new wig soon. I'm just too tired today. Love to you all, srb
