yesterday my mom's hair started coming out
it was in free fall,
we knew this would happen around the 21st day after chemo
and it was right on schedule
she had already decided to shave her head when it started falling
and i made an appointment for her
(that brought me to tears)
when i spoke to her this morning
she was totally ready
and she was so brave about it
and she looks fabulous
it's another marker
on this strange journey we are on

i'm sure she will look so great.............it sounds as if she has such a corageous attitude and that's (nearly) everything................

i remember making this appointment for her
and asking
if the salon had experience
shaving someone's head
because of hair loss from chemo
and they assured me "yes"
but when risha was in the chair
they seemed to just want to crop her hair
which still would have left her
dealing with falling hair
which was exactly the trauma
we were trying to avoid
there was a huge reluctance
to shave her bald...
eventually they did
but it was a struggle
something else i was trying to avoid
