Would You Cry your Eyes Out?

So last Thanksgiving I had my 2nd radiosurgery which made my hair fall out in this lovely patch in the back of my head. That was really unpleasant for me, especially since I felt like I was finally getting my hair back to a cute length!! So I thought that was bad last year.....

Fast forward to this year, this is what my head of hair looks like one year later! Chemo wafers made my hair thin and tons of it fell out in the past 1 1/2 months. Then the radiation kicked in on Sunday and the past 4 days I have lost huge handfuls (from the roots!!) each morning before/during/after my shower. Sooo very sad! Look how HUGE of an area they radiated compared to last year! It's so very sad!! =( You can shed a few tears , seriously it is not an easy thing for me! =(
Contrast that to this photo of Kaylie and I from one year ago! Look at how much hair I had! I'm in mourning...at least for a few more days! Broke out my wig today and believe me, while I am grateful to have one, I really hoped I would never have to use it again!

Shedding tears for you, but the wig looks good and from what I remember really doesn't look like a wig at all. You gotta do what you gotta do...lots of hugs to you!

I agree with Grandma...Wear the "no hair" proud. :) You are a survivor!! We are just glad that you are still here and loving life. Hugs to you all.
