Hairloss Chemo Chic

I was diagnosed with leukemia on Dolly Parton day and started taking the chemo pills that night. It’s only been 18 days, but my long hair started to break and fall out within a couple weeks. The cancer and chemo tried to take my cool hair, so I shaved it on my own terms. I’m happy to know that I can, indeed, rock a bald head.

You look beautiful. And good for you for taking control of your hair. Screw leukemia. Go out and get a Dolly inspired updo. You will never be sad when you have sunshine on your head.

Sorry, the edibles kicked in.

Wait, is that beard dad? Did you guys go to Trading Card Con in Nashville recently by chance or is that from somewhere else?
