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?

Look who lost TWO teeth :)

I 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.

You 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. :)

I still stand amazed at how beautiful you are bald.
My 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.
God bless you and yours always.

I so love you in that T-shirt. Have you worn it to Target yet?
Hooray for the toothless wonder! Perfect for fitting a straw.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
