One Last Thing

I almost forgot - the chemotherapy will most likely make my hair fall out, so I'm seriously thinking about shaving my head - why let the chemotherapy take my hair when I can choose to let it go? Here's the best part - I'm thinking if I shave it, I can get a henna tattoo or whatever they call it where they paint designs with henna! Doesn't that sound cool or am I crazy or maybe a bit of both! I need to have a theme, so I was thinking "Celebrate Life" - so if you're out there Lucy, I want to hear from you - I know you had some ideas about something similar when my mom was sick, so I want your input! This could be a real empowering move on my part and hopefully if the design is moving enough, it will be an inspiration for others! This gives me something to think about, only problem is, I'm not sure about the shaved head for winter in Ohio part - but I'm going to give it some thought and see if the doctor is cool with it. I'll keep you posted, including pictures. Who knows this could be a new fashion trend, henna head designs! Do you think should try to get patent? That's all folks, chat tomorrow!

  1. Valerie, I'm really enjoying your blog. It's so uplifting. I believe it is your attitude that is creating the positive experience. Hopefully, people will learn from this and remember when they are facing similar challenges. I like the idea of the henna tattoo. I also like the idea of you knitting yourself a really COOL beret!!
