I think everyone who this happens to feels this way. One way to try to think of it is everytime you see the hair coming out try to think of it as the cancer coming out with it. I don't know if that will help, but I hope it does. You are doing great through all of this, and don't feel bad if you have bad days or bad feelings about all of it. You seem like a very good person with positive thoughts, even through all of what's happening to you, and I think that helps. It’s not vanity. I think everyone who this happens to feels this way.

And somehow trying to change how I envision my life because of the path you have had to tread. your story, your courage and your faith have just been a blazing exmple for me. 7 years ago my mom had her 1st bout with cancer. it was christ,mas, several weeks after she had beegun both radiation and chemo- they were visiting- and I heard a terrible cry from upstairs. I ran to see my mom in the shower with the "clumps " you described. I can't say I know how you feel, but that day I watched my mom (who does not have the faith in Christ you do) and cried with her. its ok to feel. and thank you for sharing your trials with us. You are contanatly in my thoughts and prayers. I pray God will do a mighty work though you. thank you for sharing and letting us see you walk through this fire.... Heather,

My heart cheered for those survivors and my heart ached for what they have endured on every level. I think of you today and I pray for you today. Bald Is Beautiful!

It happened so fast that I'm sure it was a shock. It's harder for ladies, too. My dad was mostly bald before his chemo started so he didn't mind too much. We painted his head like an egg at Easter. It made the kids less upset about Grandpa's bald head. He got a kick out of it. But like I said--it's different for men. I totally understand being upset about this. The Bible says our long hair is given to us as a covering. Well, it's a symbol and you are still covered! Oh Heather, I’m so sorry. It happened so fast that I’m sure it was a shock.
