As of April 2, 2012, this blog became the place for documenting our New Adventure called Breast Cancer. Basically it's all about our Cancer ParTay.
As of Oct 2013- our 18 month Survivor mark- the ParTay's pretty much over. Treatments are done, my hair is back and I am healthy & cancer-free!
As of today- I want you to know that the trick to living a happy, healthy and wonderful life in the future is to remember where we've been, what we've learned and how much we've been blessed! That's exactly what I hope you find here.

HAIR she comes to save the day!

I wasn't going to post about my hair growth until it was all grown back. You know- long and blonde and beautiful (and possibly curly). However, my decision about that was made without my knowledge of how very, very, very, very long it takes for hair to grow back!!! LOL But because I have had lots of hair growth since my B-Day in May [birthday, bald day, whatever you want to call it], I thought it appropriate that my hair gets it's proper salute now.
I've done a pretty good job of documenting things. Are you surprised by this???? LOL So without further ado, here's Chemo Girl's Hair Growth journey thus far.
{"Today, I think I will call myself..... Chemo Girl! LOL"}

I love it. Is it just the pictures or is your hair coming in darker? I so wish I could see you again before you leave the country. Crossing my fingers, heart, and praying that your awesome Columbian vacay/life becomes a reality soon. When do you think you will start to go hatless?
