Hi Bkenny16
Sorry for your diagnosis. Great that you have the support of Michael and his family. It is great to write stuff down and I found it very beneficial as well.
I too shaved my head, and it felt good to take back some control of a situation that was out of my control!! Mine was in preparation for chemo, you mentioned that you do not know what you are doing yet? You are the only one that can make that decision, but knowledge is power and you need to make an informed decision.
Great that you joined the network, there are many women with different diagnosis and different attitudes, so check out some of the blogs and feel free to ask many questions.
Good luck with it all. I remember seeing a very powerful speaker once that had a cancer diagnosis and he was very positive and didn't have time for the people that were not supportive of him, or his views and just stayed away from the negative ones. I try to do that in my life too, most of my friends and family are supportive of my decisions in life, but you know there are always people that see the glass half empty and not halp full, I tend to stay away and feel better about it.
Good luck.
Tanya
