I never thought I’d go through cancer… and I never thought I’d be bald. Yet, here I am. Although my previous blogs have been written for the general public, this blog is written for cancer survivors. Each of our journeys is different. Many of you will choose to do the Cold Cap Therapy to retain hair, which I hear is very successful. I did not, so this blog is to help anyone undergoing chemotherapy with the anticipation of great hair loss.
When I knew I would be completely bald due to chemotherapy, I began surfing the internet for images of how my hair would look once it began growing back and found there weren’t many posts on this topic for anxious cancer patients. I hope by documenting my journey I can provide honest encouragement for someone else undergoing hair loss as a result of cancer treatment.

Angels Among Us
Cancer treatment during COVID-19 meant having no family members with me during treatment, so the nurses did it all. They served as nurses and support for patients. It must have been a huge burden.

They are truly angels walking among us, and this post is in honor of them. *Dedicated to my mother, the first nurse to take care of me..
