Hi Sarah – I am a pastor in suburban Vancouver Canada. I read this article and was deeply touched by it – I hope you will allow me to use part of your story in an upcoming sermon. A woman in our congregation’s mother passed away yesterday – I’m sure she will be comforted with the thought of God in extremis deo, as so eloquently articulated in your piece.

blessings,

I finished my last treatment October 28,2009. I am getting peach fuzz on my head now. It is so funny to be excited about the fuzz. Yours looks BEAUTIFUL!! I can’t wait to get to that stage!!

thanks so much for posting this timeline of photos! they’re really helpful for those of us eagerly awaiting hair regrowth…mine looks like your photo #2 right now, so I’m glad to know I’m not too far away from being able to ditch my wig and scarves!

I’m an Acute Myeloid Leukaemia patient, in remission and my hair is the same as yours… except mine is really course and wirey. My eyebrows are curly too. It’s all very bizarre.

This post is so beautiful, Sarah. I loved, “What I really meant was, Here’s goodbye to the life I used to love. Remember this moment, in case I don’t ever get it back.”

Perfect.

Loved talking to you tonight. Thanks.

I cried as I read your feelings. I too have had the gift of cancer. Mine is bone cancer, after a year of treatment,and a SCT- my cancer curls are coming in. As unruly as the cancer that interrupts our life. I think sometimes thats what we love about them.
I just wanted to write and tell you that we all seem to come to terms with this strange gift that robs our body but gives so much to our hearts.
I hope all is still well with you- and your curls have returned with the zest for life – that we now live.
