When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, my biggest fear was losing my hair. The day of my second treatment I decided to have a head shaving party at my beauticians. I invited 25 friends and family (men and women) to make it a fun event. My daughter wrote a poem: Some Reasons You Shouldn't Miss Your Hair. A couple of the reasons are: You will save a small fortune on hair care products and haircuts, and you will save money on the water bill by taking shorter showers. But the biggest reason you shouldn't miss your hair is because you hair does not define you, your heart does; and you have a beautiful heart. Her coment, not mine. I had wonderful support from my family and church family. Without a good support system, it would be very hard to go through treatments and side effects of chemotherapy.
