INFO:

Took me a lot of courage to post this video.😭 Like most women, my hair is a huge part of my identity.💇🏻‍♀️ Sharing with you a raw side of myself🙏🏻 After my breast cancer diagnosis, I was told that I had to undergo chemotherapy and that I would lose my hair. I was overwhelmed with anxious thoughts and emotions. I cried. I was worried about my future.😭 How will my husband feel waking up beside me? Will my kids be scared of my new look? How soon will I lose my hair? How will the razor feel sliding down my scalp? Am I going to die soon? These kinds of thoughts kept running through my mind.😭 After several days of coping with the effects of my chemo cycle, I felt it was time to shave my hair. I kept seeing hair on my pillows, clothes, towels, sink, and floor. I didn’t even want to shower my hair anymore as they kept falling off.🤯 I told my boys that I’m going to lose my hair. I explained that my chemo cycles are strong so they kill off most fast growing cells, to include my hair. I further explained that losing my hair is a reminder that the medicine is working hard to get rid of my cancer.💖 I didn’t cry when John shaved my hair. I was more emotional when I cut my hair short. Maybe because I was more prepared this time and I know what’s bound to happen. My husband was so strong when he shaved my hair. I was more concerned about getting nicked by the razor than actually losing my hair completely. The buzz of the razor was surprisingly calming. Shaving my hair off empowered me and made me feel in control for the first time. I felt free. 💯It was so liberating. 💪🏻 Thank you @ceanserioza for being there for me. You made me feel comfortable. You made my wig look like my real hair. You gave me so much hope by making me feel normal. 🙏🏻 Thank you to my husband for making me feel beautiful even when I don’t feel I am. 🥲 You are my rock! I couldn’t have done this without you! 😭 Thank you for all your prayers. Praying for a longer life for my family. Thank you Lord!🙏🏻❤️
