My mom suspected it the moment I got my first Barbie doll and started cutting away, and she was convinced by the time I owned a whole score of dolls, all with the same short styles. My intention was always to make Barbie more beautiful and stylish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never really liked the curly hair I got post-chemo. Now, it&#8217;s not as curly as when it first sprouted, but it&#8217;s definitely wavy and full, and on a humid Florida day (that would be, like, seven days a week, mostly year-round), it grows really big. Thank goodness for the flat iron, because I use [...]]]></description>

The toughest part of my dance with breast cancer was losing my hair. Seems crazy, doesn&#8217;t it, that a tumor was living in my body, threatening to take my entire life away, and I was worried about my hair. Yea, crazy. I know that now that I&#8217;m alive, probably because the same drugs that left [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t been watching much of &#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221; lately, but I do know that Katerine Hiegl&#8217;s character Izzie Stevens has cancer, so when I caught tonight&#8217;s episode, I was somewhat prepared for the storyline. What I wasn&#8217;t prepared for was my reaction to the end of the show, when Izzie pulls fistfuls of hair from [...]]]></description>

The first time they accessed my port for chemo. My chest is pretty flat because they haven&#8217;t filled my expanders with saline yet.

My sister cutting my hair. This was soooooo hard. My boys were watching. Very emotional time for me.
