Bald is Beautiful

Oh I try to sound so profound. Well Chemo is done.however I am still breast less on the left side, its cold out and my head is cold. I still have 10 extra pounds from the steroids etc etc etc... Oh poor me my sucker is in the snow today. I still have to wear hats and scarves and wigs. Not so much fun some days. But yup I am optimistic and my hair is growing and before you know it my reconstruction will be here. I have a new treadmill to lose the extra 10.
Oh and I am going to New Orleans on Saturday Frank has a for a week then we go to Atlantat to visit friends there. Can you say Shopping Shopping Shopping. I also get to be the on set Photographer and am getting paid so those new boots will have been earned.,
I have alot to be grateful for. Yes I do. But I am human and its been a long haul. We just want to be at the end of this. I took Robb and his friends to the Mall today they chipped in and bought me a rose. I drove them from A to B back to A then to C all day and they thanked me with that. Funny how I forget and catch people looking at me like I'm a cancer patient. I have never really except when on oncology ever really felt like one. People look , I look back and they cast their eyes down fast. I used to stare at people when I was younger and didn't know any better. It's not like every second person is bald in the mall with their scarf twisted and you can see the baldness. I am lucky I am a little ego based and forget quickly and today I was looking for nice inexpensive photo frames, when I caught this woman staring. I just smiled at her and commented on the beautiful frames for next to nothing.
Hmmn so I guess tonight I am a little hung up on the fact chemo is done but I am still bald still and always be now a Breast Cancer Survivor. Never wanted this. But if God brings you to it He will bring you through it. And he is and I am getting through this. I will never cut my hair again................
