Chapter Four - A Year to Remember

Losing your hair is just one of the potential side effects of chemotherapy. It can be especially difficult for females, because for many women the way we feel about ourselves is closely tied to how we look.

Book Excerpt

Waves of Pink II: Common Ground, Uncommon Courage

By week three, sure enough, my hair started to slowly fall out. Every time I would run my fingers through it, I would come away with a handful of hair. I took a shower one day, and the amount of hair that fell out was astonishing. It literally happened overnight. I was in shock, but I knew it was going to happen, so I told myself to pull it together, it will grow back. As the days went on, with every shower, more and more hair fell out . . . in handfuls. By the third day of “hairmageddon,” I asked my boyfriend to just shave the remaining hair off. I video messaged my mom and sister, and we had a good laugh-and-cry session as we said goodbye to my hair.
