  • I am having chemo right now and, despite being very open about my new hair status was having a bad bald day when a friend sent me this!! I love it and it made me laugh out loud and cry at the same time....I am definitely standing tall and choosing to dance with life but this helps the process along an awful lot!! THANK YOU!!

  • @FeeCorner ~ I had chemo three years ago, and yes there are "bad bald days" not to mention dreaming you have hair, but I too found this song to be just wonderful. God bless you as "cancer battles you" as the song says! :-)

  • I love Saffire, the Uppity Blues Women!

  • Beautiful!

    

  • Two weeks to the minute of my first chemo, I scratched my head and the whole top of my hair came out. By that night - the top was bald. I shaved the rest a couple days later. I thought the hair loss would be awful - but it wasn't. I celebrated it - had a party the day my hair went away. Then I put stickers on my noggin, let the kids draw all over it, let people at church draw on it, not once did I wear a wig and I barely wore a hat. It was awesome!!

  • the best!!!
