EVERYBODY HATES CANCER
These are the words of my oldest daughter Oaksana. One of my mom's closest friends just got the bad news. While they were waiting for her husband to get treatment advice for his prostate cancer diagnosis.. she realized that she had a lump in her breast. She's already had the masectomy done and has started her 15 month chemo treatment plan. Oaksana's teachers son (who is only in his early 20's) is battling this terrible disease as well.
So Oaksana decided to cut her hair in order to support them all. As long as I can remember, Oaksana has been VERY serious about having long hair. She won't even have a conversation if the words hair and scissors are in the same sentence. So I was amazed when she said that she wanted to do this.
I am really proud of her for making a personal sacrifice like that.. makes my heart just melt.
So.. here's her before shot...
And here's her after shot:
