When my friend lost her hair, her husband and 3 sons shaved their heads as a show of solidarity. All the boys in the family could have the Sommer men look!

(And probably the whole tougher-than-nails-woman image wouldn't be too helpful for him anyway.) <br /><br />Personally, I think there is PLENTY of reason in all of this to be generally disagreeable now and then. Even outright hostile. <br /><br />That said, I hope tomorrow is better for Sam - and you - too. After all, no matter how justified it is, generally disagreeable (and even hostile) sure is hard on even the most understanding and patient caregivers.<br /><br />(Also, even after it's shaved, my experience was when those little bits of hair fell out they still itched, and still got all over my pillow. It was definitely better - no doubt about that - but it was something I planned more for the second time. I slept in those cotton sleep hats just to keep those hairs out of my bed.)<br /><br />I feel for ya. <br /><br />Just got my third haircut this week. The texture's still . . . different . . . but it's coming back.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468485654846798758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-40880872893475274332012-06-28T23:20:12.474-05:002012-06-28T23:20:12.474-05:00I still remember the bald head of my patient with...I still remember the bald head of my patient with acute leukemia 20+ years ago - a little boy of 5 or 6 at the time - now an actor, age 27 or so, living with his girlfriend in Chicago and working as a barista to pay the rent - as a family doc it wasn't something I diagnosed every day - and he hated his chemo and IV pole too - and is clearly now thriving and living his adult life!! <br />(Julie P-A said you'd like that story)Liz Feldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396633754525085438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-63265011875009759232012-06-28T23:07:55.940-05:002012-06-28T23:07:55.940-05:00Coincidentally, I was directed to this article on ...Coincidentally, I was directed to this article on a friend's facebook page the other day: http://todayhealth.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/24/11747097-after-chemo-hair-loss-henna-crowns-help-heal?lite<br /><br />While a six year old boy may not be interested in having henna flowers painted on his scalp, you all have such ingenious ideas, maybe you can think of something inspired by the idea.Bob and Elyshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392064703228586740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-21649014524755010822012-06-28T22:37:33.438-05:002012-06-28T22:37:33.438-05:00Even when expected, no doubt very tough to accept ...Even when expected, no doubt very tough to accept and live through.

It was just the stark realization that it was all really happening to me. The treatments had become routine by then and the hair falling out was something new and different... Making it all real again. Please tell Sam we are sending our love and strength! Hugs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087932394143810341noreply@blogger.com
