Chop chop ✂️✂️✂️✂️

So the inevitable day has arrived, I have begun my chemo, the side effects are up and down, nausea, fatique and fogged brain.  The next step will be hairloss, so before chemo also takes my hair away I decided to take control and have it cut off. 

We made an evening out of it with family and friends and drinks, nanchos and dips followed by coffee and apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Obvioulsly i only had the nachos and dip, a drink would've been great but i will celebrate once my treatments are all over with. 

My husband went first and had his head shaved, he was a little freaked out but honestly i think he looks fantastic. Thank you Gino for always being by my side, i love you to infinity and beyond. So the hair party was going on in my bathroom and my turn was next. I sat in the chair and left it to Angie, she started off by getting rid of so much volume that i had and the nasty fuzziness from not having done anything to my hair in months because i new this would be the outcome. 

I thought I would have been more emotional, nervous or scared but instead i was determined from day one that i would be stronger than cancer. So as she was cutting, we kept deciding shorter and shorter. In the end it is hair, i will loose it and it will grow back. 

It was a great evening surrounded by love, family and friends.  Thank you so much Angie, love you...
