Hearing your story makes alot of the fears about being SLY sound pretty trivial.
...Call me crazy, but shaving my head symbolized so much more. I’ve had no evidence of disease for a year now, but much of that has been spent living in fear. Fear that my cancer will come back, fear of what people (esp girls) will think of my scars (and boy do I have a lot ), fear of what people will think of me balding. Well I don’t want to live in fear anymore and while of course I still am scared of a recurrence I can certainly work on the other things in my life that scare me. Since shaving I feel a lot better, and if anyone gives me grief about it, well I don’t really care what they think. I will have to start a few conversations with “No im not back on chemo again†though hah -MikeEDIT: oh yea and being bald rocks! ...
