Bobbi,

I can certainly relate to your story. I always considered myself a self proclaimed "tough -guy" ...before cancer that is. At one of my infusions, I began speaking with a woman about 15 years older than I ...we just so happen to know a few of the same people where she worked. Well...she too was there for a recurrance. She had her teenage daughter with her for support. She was going to loose her hair AGAIN...for the second time in her life. I couldn't get out of there fast enough that day to cry for the injustice of it all...Maybe that is why you cried too. SHe wasn't even talking about her hair, it was just a random thought that stayed with me. It doesn't take much for tears to fall these days for me. The new me is just way more emotional than the old me. I guess I will just have to accept that !

Thinking of you
