Being bald isn't minor- it's HUGE. You have the daily dilema of what to put on your head,the discomfort of what's on your head and your lost identity.

Even my own mother sometimes doesn't recognise me at first.If I haven't seen friends or family for awhile,then it's the first thing they comment on.Gee your hair looks different. So I totally understand how you feel.It's not meant in malice but it still kinda hurts.We just have to forgive and adapt to our new look.The bald look is cute on you- it looked terrible on me.
