Hair is overrated.

The time had come to shave my head. In true Bass family fashion, we made a party out of it.
We cranked the music, danced, ate popcorn and Eric shaved my head. Personally, I think he enjoyed it a little too much.

Karsyn told me that I looked even "more beautiful-er than before." Houston loves that I look just like him now.
I like that I'm not leaving a trail of hair everywhere I go.

I feel ok about it. My head isn't as lumpy as I had worried it would be. The kids' reaction was better than I could have ever hoped.
I know that in order to get better, I have to have chemo. If I have chemo, I have to lose my hair.
It's just part of the journey and I couldn't ask for a better support team to have on this ride with me!











Never stop dancing. :)

  27. Thank you for posting. I'm 37, in Pakistan, just been diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. Your blog is very comforting to people like myself who have no idea where it goes from here.
