Thinking of you.
I've heard of people who, after losing their hair from treatments, get a whole different head of hair, so maybe you'll get a bunch of really thick hair and eyelashes that rub on your sunglasses :)
You are strong, even when you feel weak.

Big hug, DS!
until you're faced with changing physically, you just don't realize how much stock you put into who you are on a physical level.
Just want you to know that I hear what you're saying. Remember this is a temporary detour from "normal"; this too shall pass. You & MH are in my thoughts and I look forward to your next update. In the words of Eddie Kendricks, "Keep On Truckin'".

In my house, every time someone loses an eyelash they get to make a wish. So you've got some wishes coming!!!
I hope the sickness will disappear soon. You are in my thoughts every single day.
FUCK CANCER and AK47 THAT SHIT!!!!

I started to lose my eyelashes today which was a grim reality of it all. I know I've based a lot of my posts about how I'll look...but until you're faced with changing physically, you just don't realize how much stock you put into who you are on a physical level.
We all do! Look how much time & money we spend at the salon!!
Remember your beauty shines from the inside out.
Love isn't what you say, it's what you do.

Been thinking about you and wanted to stop by for another round of #AK47THISSHIT.
Hope you are doing as well as can be.

I don't believe that being concerned about your change in appearance is vanity at all. We are just so used to how we look, that a big change like that can be disheartening.
I was thinking about you the other day, and I was so glad that you have such an amazing support group here on this site. Then it occurred to me……
You and MH created this site to help others. You have worked so very hard to create and maintain it – and most importantly, manage it in a way that makes it so safe and positive for the people who come to this site.
But now, the table has turned, and we are all able to provide some support for you! It is truly awesome that in creating a safe place to be of help for those of us suffering from the effects of infidelity, you have inadvertently created a base of support for yourself in a time of such need. And you deserve it!
It is the very least we can do to be here for you – when the two of you have done so very much for us!
Continued prayers. 🙏

WhatsRight, is of course right! Support goes both ways.
On the hard days, think of how great it will feel when you are all better. It sounds like you have the best medical help there is out there and you sound so strong and positive!
Forget the battle scars for now and just win the war.

I know how you feel about how you look. When my hair does what I want, I feel attractive, capable and vibrant and loving. When it doesn't, I feel useless.
You might want to try the exercise of looking at yourself in the mirror and smiling for one minute. It's amazing what love and caring can shine back at you from your eyes (the window to the soul, remember) and your smile.
Sending continued love and support.

Just dropping by with some mojo for you, DS. Thanks for keeping us all updated. You are a strong woman and formidable opponent. That cancer is doomed!
