Many of you have asked how I kept my eyelashes and eyebrows… I lost my hair due to radiation, not chemo :) The type of Chemo that I am on doesnt cause you to lose your hair (well, I guess if it mentions it in the side effects, someone lost their hair on it, but not many do) I dont go out bald very often because I have a scar across my scalp where they opened my head up and took the tumor out. It isnt a very pretty site :) I can feel screws, literally, on the surface of my scalp under the skin. I can feel where they cut out a piece of my skull and put it back in, jagged edges and all :) But I am still here, and that is what is important, right?

by Teresa (Myakka City)One of my best friends has termincal breast cancer. She’s the most amazing woman I know. You’re in wonderful company.
My eldest lost his tooth in Micheal’s a week ago. I have it in my purse. LOL!
by Nancy LiedelEmma looks so cute. I love little smiles with teeth missing at that age : )
Love, love your shirt. You look beautiful, Heather. Praying for you this morning, dear one. So glad to hear you slept and feel a little more ready to face the day.
by peachTruly Heather you look great with no hair. Not a lot of people can say they can pull off the “no hair” look and still look beautiful, but I do believe you are one of those “lucky ones” that can. You have amazing eyes by the way….but I am sure you know that.
by TrudyI hope this is an awesome day for you and your family.

by melody is slurping lifeTo your blog a few days ago. “whatever Lord” remember the song “I will never be the same again” one of the verses says…”whatever you need to do, Lord do in me.”
by Mark GeorgeJust thought that might be a good song for you to worship to.
You are my crown of jewels.
see you later
beautiful!!
by tami lewisI love the shirt! My little cousin had one. He was only 5 when he had cancer! He is doing great now! I wish I would have had a shirt like that when I went through my cancer! It is cool!
by GinaThat is interesting that the chemo does not make your hair come out. I am sure yours will start growing back quickly now. Mine started coming in straight and then all of a sudden it got SUPER curly!! It was fun while it lasted as I have never had curly hair. It lasted about 9 months or so and then started going away. It is a bit wavy now, but not curly anymore. It will be fun to see how yours comes back. I was hoping to come back as a red head, but it didn’t work! I had more gray than when I started and so I had to color my hair now! Anyway, I think you look great with or without hair!
Love, Gina
Love the T-shirt, Heather, it says it all. Have a blessed week.
Hugs,

What a GREAT WW. Emma is adorable! And you are gorgeous! Love the TShirt. Still praying
by Lynne B.Love the shirt; I agree - it says it all. Love the pictures!!! Emma is so beautiful!!!
by KayBeautiful pictures. They both show how losing something can give us hope as we look forward to the regrowth (teeth and hair!)
by where the boys areWhat an awesome shirt! And I agree, you are beautiful! Cute lost teeth pic too. My son is in 1st grade and just lost his first tooth about 2 weeks ago.
by CourtneyI often wonder if you had a “weak stomach” before all of this.
That is unbelievable how you described what you physically feel on your head.
I have a weak stomach. It was my hard for me to read.
But, I know it was harder for YOU to LIVE.
Yes, you ARE HERE and your God is with you - and that’s all that matters.
Losing teeth is sooooooo much fun (well, for kids…LOL). What did the tooth fairy bring her?????? Don’t leave us in suspense!
by A Place For Ministry WivesThe shirt is awesome!
And you and Emma are both gorgeous!
by SallyBeautiful, just beautiful! You look amazing. It WILL get better for you. Emma Grace is just THE cutest little girl and losing her teeth means she is GROWING UP!!! That is a good thing.
Love and Prayers for ALL of you,
by BettyBetty G. (Oklahoma)
You look like a rock star! You really look wonderful and I know God is walking through this with you, every step of the way. You little one is adorable!
Love the music as well. You are in my prayers.
Hugs!
by Kathleen MarieLook at the two sweetie pies! You are stronger than your cancer because you are not defined by your cancer! You are a beautiful child and woman of God!
by Regina Clare JaneAll my love and prayers, Heather!
xo
Beautiful both of you!
I’m glad you are having a better week. You are in my prayers…
by TammyBEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!! You are encouraging us all Heather.
by FranYou are being real and honest and staying faithful to Jesus! Praying for you….
You have a nice shaped head and carry being bald well… better then most men do. We call my husband Uncle Fester when he shaves his head. With your eyebrows and eyelashes still intact it’s a stunning look.
My sil has reoccurring brain tumors- they have been removed in the course of two surgeries over the years and are not cancerous. (last surgery was in Jan of last year) I am sorry you have cancer, it is good that you have the Lord and are relying on him.
by Michelle GartnerI love your shirt!
You are beautiful Heather.
by JanetStill praying for you dear Heather. Pretty pictures :-) I liked the video of the two musicians singing the psalm.
by CathyYou are one beautiful woman!! You’ve taught me so much, my life is richer having followed your story.
Blessings,
by SueSue
You look MAHHHHHVELOUS baby!
by AprilOutstanding photo. Your t-shirt says it all. I’m glad I stumbled upon you today. happy WW!
by BrilligI AGREE ILLNESS MAKES YOU A DIFFERENT PERSON…”DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF” IS OUR MOTO IN OUR FAMILY..CANT CHANGE EVERYTHING ANYWAY AND DONT MAKE BIG PLANS BECAUSE SOMETHING FOR SURE WILL COME UP ANYWAY AND WE HAVE TO CANCEL…
by IRENEFORGIVE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN….BUT I KNOW MYSELF I JUST CANT FORGET THAT EASY….
JUST THINK ABOUT “YOU” AND LET THE REST GO…..
WE ARE ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT YOU…BE STRONG
YOUR FRIENDS FROM NYC
Heather, you look beautiful! And so does your daughter. You hang in there!
by JHSBeautiful. You both look awesome :)
by AlexisI concur with this post. I am not who I was before brain cancer. Thanks for the lovely & encouraging reminder. As for the forgiveness it is true. I look at relationships much more differently than before.
Never heard of Brandon Heath till now. Like his style. Thanks for opening my world.
by KateYou just educated me: I thought it was only chemo which made hair fall out.
Still, I first notice your beautiful eyes, not your lack of hair.
And…Emma Grace lookth great. :)
by GretchenI still stand amazed at how beautiful you are bald.
by pamelaMy head is so bumpy and weird without every having been cut open.
Just want to let you know I’m praying for your total healing. Nothing is to big for our Lord.
by Mountain MamaGod bless you and yours always.
I so love you in that T-shirt. Have you worn it to Target yet?
by BobbieHooray for the toothless wonder! Perfect for fitting a straw.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
You look fantastic!!!!!!!!
