Goodbye Hair

Since my first chemotherapy treatment on December 14th, 2012, we have been wondering when my hair would begin to fall out (my hair has not been long to begin with..).

This morning I was sitting on my bed, studying or reading.  Jordan was sitting next to me.  As I was focusing on my laptop, I was feeling my Saturday morning whiskers.  As a mindless behavior at times, I pulled a whisker out - and I felt no pain.  I realized that was weird - no pain!

I made a comment out loud about it, and then Jordan pinched some of the hair on my head and pulled.  Out it came...a whole clump...and no pain. (We were all a little grossed out by that! :)

For me, I did not want my hair to slowly fall out, clump by clump.  I made the decision early on that the minute it started to fall out I would shave it all off, and it would remain that way until it was time to all grow back in.  

So, this morning I shaved it all off.

My boys are so amazing.  They decided that they wanted to shave their heads too...as a show of support and love for me.  They are amazing, and I love them.
