First, thank you for all the thoughts and prayers for my mom. It is going to be a long road, but she is done with the first round of chemo and doing pretty good.
Thank you also for the advice on shaving. I went ahead with it, got it buzzed at the barber shop and then shaved it. I used a fusion and aveeno shaving gel as that is what I use to shave my face. Today I used some head slick and the razor seemed to glide much easier. It turned out pretty good, my biggest fear was ending up with a bunch of cuts, but that didnt happen. It also wasn't as smooth as I was expecting, but I went with the grain since it was my first time. I also had to go out and buy a couple winter hats because I live in Chicago and it was quite a shock the first time outside.
