I shaved my mom's head on Thursday night right before her second treatment. She was afraid to have it fall out and decided she wanted to take control over the situation. I felt like I was going to faint when I cut off the first few pieces, but it was all down hill after that! We actually made a party out of it!
I bought my mom new summer clothes for the occasion and big, beautiful earrings. Look good feel better recommends wearing big earrings when you lose your hair because it makes you feel better. I would highly recommend going to the program in July! I went with my mom, and we had a blast! The makeup they give you is amazing. It's also fun to sit around with other women in your situation and talk with them.
My mom is beautiful without hair! I am so proud of her--she looks so strong!
We're going wig shopping again next weekend. I can't wait.
Rina--I hope you make a party out of it in your own way too! I am sure that you will be absolutely beautiful without hair!
