Hi, Nita,
When I started losing my hair from chemo a few years ago, I decided to
be proactive about it -- that it would be on MY terms. So, I went out
and had my stylist shave my head! I had my husband videotape it, and we
probably made quite a sight. At any rate, I was glad I did. I wore hats
mostly, scarves now and then, and sometimes just went bald. It's a
personal decision, but I was glad to get it over with...
You're in my prayers, Nita. All the best to you, friend! Love, Joicy
