Shaving of the head!

No, not my head.  So mom is undergoing Chemo for Breast Cancer.  It was a big shock to us all when they found it.  She was told of all the side effects that she would have including that her hair WOULD fall out.  So far she gets a bit queasy, and tires easily.  So she didn't believe that her hair would fall out.  Little by littler her hair started to break off, then it started to fall out more and more each day.  She started to look like the refugee with mange.  At that time it was time to shave it off.  So we gathered everyone together especially the grandkids to shave off the remainder of her hair.  We were trying to make it a fun thing so the kids could see it was Grandma who chose to take it off and try and make it fun.  So the kids wanted to see Grandma with a mohawk, so they got their wish (even if just long enought for a photo opp.).  Jared did the honors of shaving it all off.

    I remember when my mother-in-law lost all her hair. She and her 2 daughters did a skit at church and the daughters wore stockings over their heads so they looked bald, too! After our niece had chemo, etc. she lost her beautiful dark blonde hair. It grew back dark brown and curly!!! Tina Hull
