Why My Hair Is So Important

 

It is so amazing to wake up with hair and be able to wash it and flat iron and curl it as I want.  I feel like a woman again, and I feel sexy.  I know how hard it is to feel sexy without your hair.  I still had my confidence, but I felt like a boy.  The wig stays on for about 4 to 6 weeks or you can remove it earlier if you want to. 

 

I'm telling you all about this because I had no idea these type of things existed, and I'm glad someone shared it with me.  If anyone wants to know more about it I would be happy to tell you.  I know that in the beginning of the journey with cancer your entire world seems to disappear as you know it, but eventually things get better and you will be a better person for it. 

 

I learn something new every day, and I realize that I am finally happy in a way that I wasn't before I had my cancer.  Life is amazing and all of us who have to fight even harder to live it and stay in this world will get so much more out of it, we are awesome, we're survivors.  I love you all!!
