It's funny now but it wasn't that morning. I prepared and cut my hair very short. I had just about decided I needed to get a haircut and was going to call. I tried to push my hair out of my eyes and it came off in handfuls. My dog, Princess, sat beside me while I was on the floor sobbing. She kept kissing my face. To this day I don't know why I put it in a paper bag but I did. When my husband came home I met him at the door, crying my eyes out and handed him the bag. I guess I thought he would know a way to put it back. I had chemo in the summer and after I got used to being bald I didn't mind it. My daughter made a big sign that said Bald is Beautiful and we hung it on the door. My Mary told me my bald head was just part of the armor in my fight.

If you have to have chemo ginger tea is wonderful. Peppermint tea is great too. Trader Joe's has a green peppermint tea at Christmas. I grew to love peppermint tea and I buy a dozen boxes every year.
