Default Breast Cancer/OT

I just went to their website. I had been told that they don't take
color treated hair, but that is not true. I was going to cut my hair
is a shortish do after I lost a total of 20 lbs, but I have only
another 2 inches to grow my hair to donate, so I think I'll set my
goal at 30 lbs instead.

In January I had 10" cut off mine and sent down to teh Locks of Love place
in Florida. They make wigs for children with cancer. They do have a
website, if you are really interested in cutting off your hair, but they do
require a minimum of 10" to work with so there's enough to weave and style.
Maybe there's a place like that in Oz, and if not, I'm sure the LoL
people wouldn't mind Aussie hair! http://www.locksoflove.org is their web
address.

Pami, if it makes you smile even a little, you can have my hair - I will
gladly chop it all off and send it over to you. Know that you are not
alone, nor will you ever be - we are here with you every step of the way,
I
promise.

I am sure all you have heard Daniel Powder's song..."Bad Day" well this

was
my bad day. I learned I have breast cancer. I had my lumpectomy this

week
and it came back as malignant garde 3 tumor. I will have to get a
"masectomy" and have chemo. This has been a rough day for me but I don't
think I have the strength to cry anymore. I know I will lose my hair and
this really sucks but if I have to do this to keep alive then I will have
the surgery and do chemo. I will settle for chemo hats verus hair for

life.
I'll be 51 in May and this seems not fair but I get my mammos yearly and
watched and it could of been worse. Last year I had a lumpectomy in the
other breast and that was benign this year my luck ran out. I see and

hear
of so many survivors and I know this group has always been here for me

when
ever I needed them.
