Awesome
Good for you. I am not quite that brave yet. I am bald on top and around the sides. I look like a monk or the crip ceeper depending on how you look at it. I must say it feels good to take the caps off. My head gets ichy and hot. I run around the house without it. I got to remember about the sun on my bald head. That's a new experience.
Way to go!!!

That was a huge step! Congrats!0 -
What a great lead!!
You will probably never know how much courage you gave those other people. You know at some point they are going to be thinking to themselves about you, the women that sat bald during chemo. Their going to wonder if they can do the same. Probably half will and the other half will still be shy. But it was you that broke that barrier and faced this beast head on (literaly)!!! Congrats for taking a giant leap for woman & man kind!! (:-) Pammy0 -

Way to go. You are braver than I am. I know it's nothing to be ashamed or embarassed about ... but for some reason I just don't feel comfortable "out" with my bald head. I think I'm being brave by going out on my port bareheaded to water my plants. I even wear my hat during radiation. Pretty sad ... huh?
hugs.

not sad-just normal! It's nothing about being ashamed or embarassed sometimes-you're just not ready yet(and when you are,you will).And if you're never ready until your hair grows back-of course that will be okay too!
I just got tired of hiding myself after a while and that's when I stopped wearing hats.0 -

I agree with what Pammy
I agree with what Pammy said... you displayed such courage and probably brought comfort to another patient without even realizing it... what courage and strength you displayed... good for you, and it was probably much cooler for you...
Hugs

Yes, YOU GO GIRL! And useKathiM said:You GO, girl!!!!
I LOVED 'going naked'....but was hesitant at first...
One tip....if you go out and about without a cover, be sure to wear PLENTY of sunscreen...I didn't my first time, and MAN! did I burn!!!!
Hugs, Kathi
