Hair Loss... Again

After 2.5 weeks of radiation, Lur's hair began to drastically fall out.  The first time around during her breast cancer chemotherapy, it was a different experience.  She was accepting of it and looked forward to her journey ahead with confidence and optimism.  This time around, during her brain cancer radiation, it's been different.  She was told radiation might cause more permanent hair loss. She didn't want to see those curly grey locks go.  She's also feeling much more run-down at this stage.  All of this has made losing her hair again so much harder.

Allie and I took her to our "hair girl" JaNae.  Lur wanted to give her the opportunity of buzzing it. Lur has loved the relationship and conversations she's had with JaNae over the years.  It was as if she was telling her "thank you" and "goodbye."  Bitter sweet indeed.

We're all use to her bald head though, so it wasn't as drastic of a change this time.  Plus I feel like it makes her look younger and her smile brighter!  Bald and beautiful for sure.

Way to live strong mom.  Keep fighting!  -Katie
