After peering at the shower drain this morning and seeing a ginormous glob of my hair, I realized this was probably the time to shave my head. My hair has been steadily shedding for some time now, but it was this last treatment that was very effectively on my rapidly growing cells, apparently. I won't lie - I thought this step of my cancer journey would be fairly easy. It isn't. My head looks like Demi Moore's on the movie "GI Jane". Except I don't have the benefit of the shock of beautiful dark features like Demi. And it's cold. So cold. At any rate, this really is a small price to pay for chemo saving my life. Right? Right. I'll keep telling myself that when I have to wear hats around the clock.
This picture is very telling while Colin is shaving my head:
Colin said it would still be noticeable at the longer length when it continues to shed, so Samuel took it down even further:
I will now feel compelled to wear makeup equivalent to that of a drag queen to feel feminine.
My hair will grow back. I only have three more treatments.
I can do this.

Two things.
1. The picture of Samuel shaving his mom's head in his underwear is priceless.
2. Mourn the loss of your hair, but remember it *will* grow back.
Aren't you happy that you inherited such a beautiful shaped head? Before you know it, you will be sporting a cute 'pixie' style again! xo
You are such a strong woman AND you do have beautiful features to boot. Demi ain't got nuthin' on you!!!
You are so beautiful, inside and out. Your striking eyes and lovely features are going to rock this shaved look! And it'll grow back; hang in there!
You look so beautiful with or without hair! You've got the Lord on your side... you CAN do this, Kami!!
Of course you can do this, you're crushing this! And if gorgeous blue eyes are striking and feminine enough, I don't know what is. So proud of you Friend!
