This is Scott and I last Friday. My hair had started to come out in my comb. I wanted one last good picture of us looking normal.
Tonight (Monday - September 10) I invited Randy, Annie and their kids and Jenni, Lynn and their kids to come over to a hair shaving party. I called Rusty and Rick on Facetime - so we were all together.
Me - Right before the BIG event~
This is me getting ready to TAKE IT OFF!
My crew of supporters - Jenni is taking the picture and Lynn hadn't arrived yet. Rusty, Collette and Owen are viewing from the purple iPad and Rick is on Facetime on the green phone. Technology!
The FIRST buzz
Hank and I with our Mohawks!
Hank was the only one I could get to help Scott with the buzzing. He did great!! (I look pained but I was faking it!)
My boys said I looked like them now!
The finished look for now... Thank you Scott! I know it was difficult but we continue to get through these changes together~
Lennon and Lynn are rubbing my head for good luck. Everyone joined in as well.
Saying goodbye to Rick
Now the day is over... my hair is gone. I've decided to look at my hair loss this way - the CHEMO is working! My chemo "cocktail" is suppose to kill the "fast producing cells" in my body. Hair is a fast producing cell.
So a CHEER for no Hair! WAHOO...... I am going to win this fight against cancer!
Jeri..... Bruce and I love you. We wish we were there to celebrate life with you!!
ReplyDeleteJeri, you are beautiful inside AND out! I love your outlook and I am so glad you have such an amazing support system! And yes, hair loss is a good sign that the chemo is doing what it is supposed to do! GO JERI!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWay to take control Jeri! You are awesome! You look great in that hat too btw! Yay for chemo working!
ReplyDeleteJeri, I am watching with complete and utter amazement how well you handled that. I wouldn't have expected anything less, but you were so brave and you look amazing, girl....love you and admire your determination to kick this cancer in the ass! You know I've got your back honey .

ReplyDeleteDear dear Jeri, You are one amazing girl!! LOVE your determination and your -'get it done' attitude. Never thought of hair loss as a positive thing until you explained it was an outward sign - that the chemo is working. I love that you made it a 'family affair' - - hey think about all the really cute hats that are out there, love yours, love you,
ReplyDeleteArlene
GOOD JOB!!
ReplyDeleteDon't use the razor (as in shaving your head super bald)! You will be sorry, I was. What you did is enough. I will explain later.
big hugs,
Marilee
What an inspiration you are! Thank you for sharing this journey! Pam and Alan
