This may not be the kind of Good News to be posted here - but it was Good News to me. Nine months ago when I was dx I never thought I would see this holiday season. I was scared and frightened. One of my biggest things was losing my hair. Even before I started treatment I went to the local wig shop that advertised in the yellow pages to catering to chemotherapy hair loss. I bought 2 wigs as close to my own hair color and style.
Just the other day as I was visiting the oncologist who is in a medical building adjacent to the hospital so not a sole would know where I was going. I stopped in the gift shop to pick up a birthday card and a bottle of water. A woman looking at cards complimented me on my "darling, sassy haircut" and asked where did I have it cut. That was the greatest feeling - I told her I had it done at "Chemo Cuts" and she asked where they were located and who cut it. I had to laugh inside. I told her I had cancer and had shaved my head during chemo and this was the result. A little mouse, a few fingers and this is what I got.
That's my good news - I have hair and health for today and I never did wear either one of those silly wigs. A day at a time with faith, courage and hope.
Miracles & blessings . . .
