So when your hair starts falling out from chemo, it’s actually quite painful. It gets stuck on everything (think hats, pillows, a shirt when getting dressed) and then is pulled out of your scalp. Ouch!
After a sleepless painful night I messaged Larry and said enough was enough. The hair had to go. I was no longer sad or afraid of losing my hair. I just wanted to be out of my misery.
And so, Larry came, camera in hand, and captured these awesome pictures of another cancer adventure.
He made me feel beautiful. I cannot tell you what that meant to me.
Later on, my buzzed hair was still causing me pain as I tried to sleep. Despite the late hour, my husband tenderly and lovingly shaved my head as I sat in our tub. It was such a simple act performed with such patience and love. It felt so good and so soothing. I just sat there and let his love heal my heart. It was probably one of the sweetest moments of my life.
Now, bald as a cue ball, I sleep easily. I realized the other day that I haven’t cried much this past month. And then I realized something surprising…it’s because I’m happy. So much love, such a full heart. All good things.
Give em’ hell

Well done Katie! You look so free and happy. Letting go of our hair is a tough one for women. When dealing with cancer we have so many things that weigh us down–shaving your head is incredibly difficult but once it’s done it feels so damn good to just let it go…let it go…let it go.
