Feeling Empowered

Good Girl, sounds like you rock the short hair style. Keep that lippy on and keep on smiling. Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ????????

Hi Jane,

Sometimes I think when we cover up we make it more obvious, you know what... who cares do what you are comfortable with my friend. Think it is a cycle we wear a hat or scarf when we first go bald cause I think we are embarrassed, but then as time goes on we get so over it and don't give a s..t anymore.

Cheers Jen ?? ?? ?? x 

So true Karen,

We have to do what makes us happy not others hey. I went for lunch today, there were 2 ladies donning their beanies and we exchanged the warmest smiles. Lots of lovely people out there when you least expect it. We have special days that some people wouldn't understand, doesnt take much does it.

Take care.

Cheers Jen ?? ?? ?? x 

Just do it mate ??

Go Linda !!!

Cheers Jen ?? x

Good for you Jen! Apart from when I worked, as I didn't want to scare the customers, I went bald and ala naturale. I rocked bald and if someone had a problem with it, I figured it was their problem not mine. For me it was accepting what was happening to me and making the best of it. One of the best days I had was when a young man in a wheelchair yelled out at the shops "Love your head. You rock bald!". And so I did from that day forward. Enjoy your executive grey locks.

Oh I'm so proud of you. I want to chuck my wig in the bin - seriously ! I haven't been courageous enough to hit the streets bald yet. But I'm very close to now.

thank you for your empowering message :) xo

Good on you! I have no trouble being bald at home, or even in the car, but as soon as I step out of the car I feel the need to cover up. But even then I still feel self conscious because I think people are looking at me trying to work out whether I have hair under there, or am just weirdly wearing a beanie on a warm day. At least if it is on display, it is pretty obvious what people are looking at. And maybe people just might think "she looks like she's got cancer, but look, she's still doing the grocery shopping, buying clothes, getting petrol, ferrying kids, doing normal stuff......what a hero!"

I still wonder when I cover up, who am I doing it for? All the people that matter to me still love me, so who cares about anyone else and what they think? I've got cancer. So what? If they find it offensive they can just go kiss my big, fat, white..........head!

Now where's my hat?

You're  a champion Jen!

Ditto Jen! 

Just starting to get some regrowth and today was the first day I ventured out 'au naturel'! 

And I felt empowered too - and I don't think there were any more stares than when I wore my headgear!
