Welcome Mike...it is an inspirational story...everyone gets here in a different way and for different reasons...but always be happy in the fact that it is cool to be bald and some people actually prefer it to having hair.....

...hair is highly overrated!

Sly is just better! 8)

 O0 O0 O0 Mike, I am also a cancer survivor. I love my bald head now; so does my loving wife. Most men, as RazorX has commented, actually look better bald. DRAW ON US, MAN. Professor Melon

As all of the others have said, welcome to SBG's.  I look forward to hearing more from you.

Hearing your story makes alot of the fears about being SLY sound pretty trivial.

For now, I guess it doen't matter how we all ended up here, it's the support we can give to each other that really counts.

Yea but it is a tough thing to deal with I suppose.  I didnt really stress out during chemo much, I generally dont stress out over anything.  I just had a rough few months and this was on top of everything else.  But now I'm sly and loving it :) 

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

...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

 -Mike

EDIT:  oh yea and being bald rocks! ...


Welcome Mike! :)

Wow, what a story! Keep on inspiring  O0 Glad to hear you are not living in fear! I understand that feeling too but it is So empowering to embrace what has happened in your life and to say to our society and illness - "You Cannot and Will Not keep me down!" Just be the Amazing person you were created to be.

Welcome brother - awesome story
