Chemo Style: Added Some Photos from Breast Cancer Treatment

I had straight styled hair when I started chemo. Two weeks later I shaved it off when it started coming out in clumps.

 

Since it's grown in...it was salt and pepper grey! I colored it and now have blondy brown CURLS. I never had curly hair in my life! 

Hi, Leslie. Thanks for writing and sharing all you have with us. You have a neat perspective on having breast cancer and how it affects - and doesn't affect - your life. Good for you.

As you've said, cancer may change your body, but it doesn't have to change your heart and who you are.

 

Share more with us soon.

This is my mother. I am her daughter Michelle, it breaks my heart to this day to see my mom with no hair on her head during her chemo! She was a VERY strong woman with all that she endured through her breast cancer battle. I hope that you never have to go through what you went through ever again. I love you mom and always will no matter what. You showed me how fast one's life can change and how we all need to care for and cherish our loved one's because they can be taken away from us so quickly and live every day as if it were your last! Love you-Michelle
