Actually....... Melanie you look so PRETTY!!! I know how closely linked our hair and our identities are. But hair or not, you are and always will be YOU. And you're beautiful inside and out! You got this!
Trhat is brutal. You've been through so many changes with the baby and health and this is just a lot to take in. You were so wise to bing your friends into the process. It looks far better freshly shorn than having to watch the hair come off bit by bit. It looks great! And the best thing is that lovely baby...so sweet.
When.she started to cry I cried with her. I can't imagine how she feels. From the bottom of my heart, i want you to know we are all rooting for.you. i agree on the all at 1 time rather than feeling like u just keep loosing it over everyday. I think for any 1, Espesially a woman whose had long hair forever. It will feel like too much to take on. But this is only 1 small part of your fight. Keep shining! When everyone helped get it done and tackle it, my heart just felt so warm. Also you are a beautiful woman and you will rock this new look for a little while. And u and baby girl can rock all the same wraps and bows together ❤
😊 Hi there, When I got to the point that my hair was coming out in she shower i asked a friend to shave it within 1/8". The rest did not fall out only got thinner. We go through so much in the end what is hair? 1'm 2 months post chemo and the hair has grown back an inch. I do wear a wig it does make me feel better when i see myself i'm not always reminded of my cancer 😊. Much love, Yvonne
Melanie, Sweetie im so sorry that you had to shave your hair. Cancer treatment may have made you lose your hair, but you took control and took your hair all off on your own terms. Big hugs Sweetie you are amazing. Im so proud of you. ❤
So sorry. I went ahead and saved mine first signs of falling out. Felt it would be less torture. Mine came back pretty fast. Half is curly, the other half is straight. So I get it permed, 2 different size rods. You will be thankful shaving it off. It will be ok! Take care of yourself. You are strong.
You look great without hair! I had my head shaved when I had brain surgery. Mostly I just wanted to be done with it. Turns out that just like you being bald looked good on me. I was with my 39 year old daughter who had breast cancer, when she decided to shave her head. She decided she was tired of pulling her hair out. It’s so hard to do. Her husband shaved her head too. God bless you, your husband and your beautiful little one.
It’s so hard, but like you said, just wanted it done. And it has been nice not having to worry about my hair through all of this. That was so sweet for her husband to shave his head with her. I hope both you and your daughter are doing well now and that she is cancer free.
Melanie, just keep reminding yourself that this is all temporary. I know how devastating it is to loose your hair but it's a small price to pay for the wonderful things that are ahead for you and your baby. Stay strong!
Ohmygosh. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are helping sooooo many people. I started ugly crying when "babe" shaved you and then he was kissing you. Such a beautiful moment. You are a beautiful woman, inside and out. I will be fervently praying for your fast recovery, full healing, and God's peace as you go through this.
I remember when mine started falling out. I was standing in line outside a DMV office to renew my license before my hair was totally gone. The wind was blowing a little and I could see hair just flying off my head in the breeze. I just prayed it didn’t all come out before I got inside. It was devastating at first but then felt so freeing not to have to deal with it once I shaved it off. You will be okay, you will. This is just a short phase of your journey. Try to focus on beating the beast and your little princess. Hugs❤
You are you. I know in my cancer journey (tongue cancer) I have had to remind myself that often, with my not having the speech clarity I once had. I might not be able to pronounce certain words but I am still me, the (hopefully) wonderful person I've been all my 64 years. You look beautiful and whether you get a wig, use a wrap or find a beautiful felt-type hat, you will always be you. Cheers to you on your cancer fight. One day at a time! Hugs from Cupertino, California
Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. I am so sorry to hear you had to fight as well. One day at a time and so glad to hear you are still your wonderful self!
You look absolutely fabulous without hair! The build up sucked but, you made it through. You are really inspiring. I thank you for sharing your journey with us! I believe I can speak for everyone, "we are here to support you every step of the way! Many hugs to you. I'm praying for your continued strength through all of this and healing. God bless you!
You still look beautiful even without hair! I've been praying for you daily. Your strength is inspiring and you have a loving and supportive husband and precious baby girl. May God continue to give you strength and bestow His healing grace upon you.
Melanie, you are so beautiful! The baby is so beautiful. You have more strength than you know. You're so fortunate to have such support from family and friends. I loved the scarf you wore in this video. Not alot of women can wear them and look like you. Maybe if you go with a wig, go with a short so when you put it on before the scarf, you'll see alittle hair in the front and alittle in the back. Really, youre beatiful, the skys the limit❤ Being kick ass and sensitive and warm is a beautiful combo. You're strength come from all those qualities❤
Hi Melanie. Once again I want to tell you that I admire you so much! You are so beautiful with or without hair! You are blessed to have your sweet little angel, such a supportive husband who loves you so much and such special friends. Just think that your health adventure will be over and you will get your beautiful hair back. I am thinking of you and praying that God gives you strength. Sending you all my love from Greece 🇬🇷💖
Melanie, my Warrior sister, hello again! This is a great video showing the power you used to take control of how cancer affects hair loss. You now have the power over cancer. My brothers hair came back thicker & darker. You are beautiful inside & out! Bald is beautiful 💕
Hi Melanie. I completely understand all of the thoughts, concerns for the husband like you are. I had a brain tumor and decided to have my hair shaved after my surgery. It is a huge decision and is very psychological and emotional. Our hair is part of who we are, taking pride in our appearance. I wanted to share my story because I found that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I accepted it as part of my recovery and actually ended up loving my shorter hairstyles as it grew back. Try to allow yourself to accept this as part of your healing and recovery. I know it's hard, but you're definitely not alone. Sending up prayers for you that your able to find your peace in all.of this. Don't let this define you, but instead remind you that you took control. You got this Melanie! ❤
Thank you for sharing all this with me! I am so sorry to hear about your own journey, but hope you are now healing and back to living your life on your terms. I think I may keep my hair short after all this as well. The upkeep is defintiely a wholllleeee lot easier.
You're a strong young lady, I sorry you're going through this! Your head has a pretty shape! The baby is such a cutie! Prayers for you, and your sweet family!
You are so brave sharing your journey. You look great without your hair. Alot of women prefer not to wear a wig, it's a personal decision. Hang in there, YOU GOT THIS!
I’m truly sorry you are go through this . All I know is watching you’re blogs, you are absolutely one strong woman! I admire you. Stay strong and fight. Prayers coming your way! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am in awe of your beautiful heart. To be in such anguish but concerned how it will affect your husband - I am humbled by your compassion. You mentioned a wishlist but I'm not able to see it on Amazon? Girl, I must say, you've got a great head shape! 🙄🤩
Aww thank you!! And you are so sweet to ask. We haven't shared it publicly because we have a hard time asking for help. This is it though: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1VYO3FQR65DTG/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2 There isn't too much there at the moment. And thank you for the head shape comment, I am grateful that has been the case. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
your videos are breaking me, im sitting here crying and i feel so bad for you. I hope that you will recover and get to live the life you wanted. I wish you all the best.
You rock bald sweetie. I can’t even imagine how horrible that must be for you and your husband, as well as friends watching this step in you Can er journey. You’ve been thru so much. Especially with a new born. Oh sweetie. You’re in my prayers.
My heart hurts for you. Prayers to you and your family. Hang in there, and don't forget to give yourself grace whenever needed. You're beautiful with or without hair. Hugs!
I know that losing hair is very traumatic, it's so good that you have friends that pull you through. Side note, you really DO have a nice shaped head! Wow! Prayers for your healing.
I’m so sorry about your hair although you’re lovely no matter what. I’m losing mine terribly fast due to health & stress. It’s very hard to lose our hair. Hugs and wishing you the best beautiful lady & your family is lovely. Bless you all. 😊
Thank you Melanie for sharing your journey with all of us. I remember when my husband lost his hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows. It has all grown back now. Unfortunately it is all part of the journey. Keep the faith. And yes, I think the headwrap will look nice on you till your hair grows back. And perhaps you can have a fun distraction trying on different style wigs for fun.
Melanie, I know how tough it is to lose all your hair to chemo. But after mine fell out I wore a baseball cap. Like you, I hated wigs. They felt heavy, uncomfortable, itchy & I felt so strange with one on. I completed Chemo and I have a short pixie & love it. It's so easy & I plan to keep it short. You keep fighting & you look wonderful 💛 🫶✌️
I have actually wondered if I will end up keeping my hair short too once it starts to grow back. Bald hair upkeep is wayyyy easier than hair upkeep lol, so I guess there is one perk. Thank you for sharing your own journey with me. It helps me not feel so alone.
@@melaniefostersnavely You're very welcome! You help me so much with your journey I feel very alone at times & frightened. I'm sure you know that feeling very well too. I am still fighting this horrible disease. My CT scan is tomorrow so I am praying for good results 🙏. Anyway, back to our hair! You may like it short. I was surprised that I love mine short. I can shampoo my hair & blow dry in less than 20 to 25 minutes. I love the freedom it brings to me. Your sweet daughter is so beautiful. Sending good vibes 😊💪
I remember it was about 2 weeks after my 1st treatement my hair started to fall OUT. I think that was more emotinally difficult for me then just cutting it all off. I had really long hair and despite the fact I did not lose it all I kinda wish I would have just shaved it off. That way I could have seen the progress of my hair growing back. Your a strong woman so just stick in there it will seem to get worse before it gets better but it will get better!! 💖 stay strong, sending prayers and love your way . You look beautiful
I have wondered if some of it might have stayed but it was looking so stringy I was having a really hard time looking at it, so shaving it just helped me take some of the ownership of it. But I do wonder if I had waited what might still be there. I am glad you didn't lose it all. Thank you for the support ! So sorry you had to fight as well!
Oh, Melanie, i am so very sorry you’re going through this I am sure it was a super difficult decision to make , shaving your hair. You’re still beautiful! You could see the difference in attitude once it was gone… you’re strong!!! Praying for you!
I am so sorry you are dealing with this. You should just be enjoying your baby girl! May God bless you and give you strength! I pray your hair starts growing back very soon!🌷🙏🏻
You are absolutely beautiful Melanie. I also want to say I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost a brother. You’ve been through it but God is with you my friend.
I am so sorry you are going through all this and especially with a new born. You are so strong. When I started to lose my hair from chemo, my son shaved my head. It was hard and all unreal. I had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer in September 2021. So, of course the chemo was hard for me and honesty I was relieved I didn't have to wash my hair or shave my legs. I didn't have the energy. I missed my hair, but I just concentrated on resting and getting through this. Your hair will grow in faster than you think. Soft chemo caps are comfortable on your head. I hope that helps a little anyway. Best of luck. You got this! ❤️❤️
There are perks where you can find them, I do love not having to shave either and the upkeep is so easy (since there is none lol). After this is all over I may end up keeping it short, at least for a while. It's just so much easier and saves so much time. Thank you for sharing your story with me! I hope you are now cancer free and doing well!!
@@melaniefostersnavely You're welcome. Thank you for sharing your story with us. When my hair came back in I did like it shorter. The funny thing is it got curly. I never had curly hair. 😊 So far I good. I don't get my cat scan until March. It's called the anniversary of the last chemo. My last cat scan was in May. 10 months is too long. I am scared. Thank you for being an inspiration. It helps so much. We are all human and have good days and bad days. And that is ok. Love and hugs❤️
Hi beautiful. I once shaved off all my hair to get a brand new start. For whatever it's worth, it does grow back better. Hang in there. I send ❤️ your way.
I intentionally shave my hair and no chemo involved. The best thing I did. Got extra time in life. No time to comb,die,or style. I hope you soon will come to enjoy the freedom of above mentioned. 5:52
U are such a beautiful strong woman hair or no hair ur very beautiful without hair in my opinion ur eye is looking so much better. I've been following ur journey and I can't imagine what u are going thru u have alot of ppl praying for u and sending u love and strength remember gods got u and ur family u are truly loved.
Melanie, this had to be difficult but you did it on your terms! You go girl. Once chemo is over it will grow back. Will it be the same color, straight, curly . A short time will tell. You are fighting this and so very strong. Yes you are still you and so darn beautiful!!!!! Much love, support, prayers. I am so excited to see this behind you. Be proud you did it on your terms!
I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this! You have an amazing support system of your hubby and friends! I hope baby girl is able to bring you strength, comfort, and joy during this difficult time!!! ❤🙏🏻 You got this!
Melanie you look fabulous with a bald head!! You keep rockin it and doing you ✌️. Should you ever feel like being in a playful mood I'd love to see you try the pink wig. I had bought myself a long pink wig when I was 18 just for fun and I loved it!! Sometimes it's nice to just be silly and have a little fun when you're going through rough patches. I'm praying for you 🙏. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 🙂
I felt like I was living every step of this with you. So much emotion wrapped up in this one act. You did an amazing job and now it's done and it looks great.
Oh it was heartbreaking to see you struggling with the hair loss and deciding when to take the plunge and shave it. I’m glad you did it and decided against a wig because it really suits you. You look so happy at the end of the vlog like you’d made peace with the fact your hair was gone. Well done you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 you’re doing a great job ❤❤❤ Love from the UK 🇬🇧
You are still beautiful Melanie with or without hair. I am glad your happy with your resemblance of your brother I would be horrified if I look like my brother as we don’t get along. 😮 I have been watching you for a little while now but this is my first time commenting. You are doing extremely well Melanie with keeping everything together you look like a very strong willed person and your family and friends seem like they are very proud of your strength. Hang in there and enjoy every moment with your beautiful bundle of joy as they grow up to quick.
Losing my hair and shaving my head during chemo was so emotional…. Up to that point, I looked healthy. After, everyone knew I was a cancer patient. It will grow back. Mine came back thicker and curly. Hugs to you. By the way, I had bought 2 beautiful wigs, but ended up ditching the wigs in favor of beanie caps because the wigs were hot and itchy. I wish I’d thought of getting a fun colored wig ☺️
I don't wear the fun colored wig after all. Though I did on Halloween lol. But like you said too hot and itchy. I've just been either embracing the bald or I wear a hat or head band wrap. Thank you for the encouragement on it growing back! I am so sorry you had to fight as well, but hope you are doing well now!
Always remember it's okay to cry, be mad, and to be angry at cancer. Personally I think you look beautiful with or without your hair, beauty comes from the inside, and girl you got it.
Stay strong, my family and friends love their "chemo hair ". When you are thru your treatments, your hair will begin growing back and you will be pleasantly surprised.
I had skin cancer on my scalp. From thre referral to surgery took quite a long time. It ended up that I have a large area on the top of my head that I will never grow hair on again. I wear scarves, hats etc. losing your hair is losing part of yourself. Lots of prayers! 5:13
Melanie my darling not that my way of thinking is the same as everyone else's but when my hair finally fell out and I came to terms with it I look at it as one day closer to getting better not that I was sick and I think that is what helped me . I sympathize with you because I understand how you are feeling.
Agree with the pink hair. Would love it also. Did not loose my hair to chemo at least not on my head other places which barely came back. Cancer sucks! Love that baby! Prayers and strength to you. Kathy Erie pa
Actually....... Melanie you look so PRETTY!!!
I know how closely linked our hair and our identities are. But hair or not, you are and always will be YOU. And you're beautiful inside and out!

Melanie the difference in you after shaving your hair is amazing…even though you may not think or feel it, you look beautiful, powerful and strong ❤️
With or without hair, you are beautiful. Keep up your chin because you're an inspiration to me and others watching your videos. Take care❤❤
Thank you Melanie for sharing your journey with all of us. I remember when my husband lost his hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows. It has all grown back now. Unfortunately it is all part of the journey.

@@melaniefostersnavely You're very welcome! You help me so much with your journey
I feel very alone at times & frightened. I'm sure you know that feeling very well too. I am still fighting this horrible disease. My CT scan is tomorrow so I am praying for good results 🙏. Anyway, back to our hair! You may like it short. I was surprised that I love mine short. I can shampoo my hair & blow dry in less than 20 to 25 minutes. I love the freedom it brings to me. Your sweet daughter is so beautiful. Sending good vibes 😊💪
Also get a beanie, it's getting cold outside. Our hair keeps our heads comfortable. Prayers every day for you.❤

You are absolutely beautiful Melanie. I also want to say I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost a brother. You’ve been through it but God is with you my friend.
Thank you so much! He definitely is 💛

I missed my hair, but I just concentrated on resting and getting through this. Your hair will grow in faster than you think. Soft chemo caps are comfortable on your head. I hope that helps a little anyway. Best of luck. You got this! ❤️❤️
There are perks where you can find them, I do love not having to shave either and the upkeep is so easy (since there is none lol). After this is all over I may end up keeping it short, at least for a while. It's just so much easier and saves so much time. Thank you for sharing your story with me! I hope you are now cancer free and doing well!!
@@melaniefostersnavely You're welcome. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
When my hair came back in I did like it shorter. The funny thing is it got curly. I never had curly hair. 😊
So far I good. I don't get my cat scan until March. It's called the anniversary of the last chemo. My last cat scan was in May. 10 months is too long. I am scared. Thank you for being an inspiration. It helps so much. We are all human and have good days and bad days. And that is ok. Love and hugs❤️
Hi beautiful. I once shaved off all my hair to get a brand new start. For whatever it's worth, it does grow back better. Hang in there. I send ❤️ your way.
Looking forward to see how it grows back in!
I intentionally shave my hair and no chemo involved. The best thing I did. Got extra time in life. No time to comb,die,or style. I hope you soon will come to enjoy the freedom of above mentioned. 5:52
Very true, my hair upkeep time is way easier with no hair.
Hugs hugs!❤❤❤ this brought me to tears because I felt what you felt. I’m looking for a wig but Girrrrl you look just amazing without hair. Wow❤❤😢😊

I've been following ur journey and I can't imagine what u are going thru u have alot of ppl praying for u and sending u love and strength remember gods got u and ur family u are truly loved.
Melanie, this had to be difficult but you did it on your terms! You go girl. Once chemo is over it will grow back. Will it be the same color, straight, curly . A short time will tell. You are fighting this and so very strong. Yes you are still you and so darn beautiful!!!!! Much love, support, prayers. I am so excited to see this behind you. Be proud you did it on your terms!
I pray for you! You are beatiful! ❤
I'm so sorry, precious girl. I feel like crying. I have lung cancer, but I'm 61 yrs old. You've got to fight hard for the precious baby.
Thinking of you! So sorry you are fighting as well.
Your mindset is amazing. You are one strong lady. And you have a beautifully shaped head so no need to cover it up. 😊❤
I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this! You have an amazing support system of your hubby and friends! I hope baby girl is able to bring you strength, comfort, and joy during this difficult time!!! ❤🙏🏻 You got this!
You look lovely Melanie!im so sorry you had to go through this sending love and hugsxxxxx❤️🙏🏻💐🇬🇧
You and your family are in my prayers!
Melanie you look fabulous with a bald head!! You keep rockin it and doing you ✌️. Should you ever feel like being in a playful mood I'd love to see you try the pink wig. I had bought myself a long pink wig when I was 18 just for fun and I loved it!! Sometimes it's nice to just be silly and have a little fun when you're going through rough patches. I'm praying for you 🙏. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 🙂
I felt like I was living every step of this with you. So much emotion wrapped up in this one act. You did an amazing job and now it's done and it looks great.
Oh it was heartbreaking to see you struggling with the hair loss and deciding when to take the plunge and shave it. I’m glad you did it and decided against a wig because it really suits you. You look so happy at the end of the vlog like you’d made peace with the fact your hair was gone. Well done you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 you’re doing a great job ❤❤❤
Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you 💛
Continued prayers for you....your still beautiful inside and out.
You were so vulnerable - then what an empowered woman you became on loosing the hair! Peace out Melanie- you rock!
Hi Melanie i just left a comment on your last video have subscribed and wish you all the very best,love from Australia❤️🇦🇺
You are still beautiful Melanie with or without hair. I am glad your happy with your resemblance of your brother I would be horrified if I look like my brother as we don’t get along. 😮 I have been watching you for a little while now but this is my first time commenting. You are doing extremely well Melanie with keeping everything together you look like a very strong willed person and your family and friends seem like they are very proud of your strength. Hang in there and enjoy every moment with your beautiful bundle of joy as they grow up to quick.
Losing my hair and shaving my head during chemo was so emotional…. Up to that point, I looked healthy. After, everyone knew I was a cancer patient. It will grow back. Mine came back thicker and curly. Hugs to you.
By the way, I had bought 2 beautiful wigs, but ended up ditching the wigs in favor of beanie caps because the wigs were hot and itchy. I wish I’d thought of getting a fun colored wig ☺️
I don't wear the fun colored wig after all. Though I did on Halloween lol. But like you said too hot and itchy. I've just been either embracing the bald or I wear a hat or head band wrap. Thank you for the encouragement on it growing back! I am so sorry you had to fight as well, but hope you are doing well now!
You are an inspiration. You have a great attitude and I love it!! Want nothing but the absolute best for you and your sweet family❤❤❤
Beautiful and brave, taking control when you were ready, praying for healing, 🩷🩷🩷🙏🙏🙏🩷🩷🩷
Always remember it's okay to cry, be mad, and to be angry at cancer. Personally I think you look beautiful with or without your hair, beauty comes from the inside, and girl you got it.
You are beautiful regardless! I pray for you daily ❤
I’m so sorry sweetheart, hugs to you…❤
Stay strong, my family and friends love their "chemo hair ". When you are thru your treatments, your hair will begin growing back and you will be pleasantly surprised.
You look beautiful. Praying for you and your family.
You look great! I'll be thinking of you on the 27th (scan day, I think).Take care and thank you for sharing.
…MELANIE, YOU GOT THIS. YOUR A STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE😊.
Melanie you look beautiful inside and out. Im so proudof you.
Hi Melanie...praying for your strength and healing every day. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. You still look beautiful!
You are awesome. Keep up the positive attitude. You can do this. Keep fighting. Prayers for you 🙏
Thank you for sharing this, I’m experiencing the same thing and your video has helped me today
I had skin cancer on my scalp. From thre referral to surgery took quite a long time. It ended up that I have a large area on the top of my head that I will never grow hair on again. I wear scarves, hats etc. losing your hair is losing part of yourself. Lots of prayers! 5:13
I am so sorry to hear you have some that won't grow back, and hope you have found things that help you feel beautiful! Thank you for your prayers.
UR ROCKING IT!! ❤ Prayers for U, Husband, and Baby Girl!!

Melanie my darling not that my way of thinking is the same as everyone else's but when my hair finally fell out and I came to terms with it I look at it as one day closer to getting better not that I was sick and I think that is what helped me . I sympathize with you because I understand how you are feeling.
Ha, it may actually be beneficial for our heads to breathe with no hair and direct sunlight. Sending good vibes 🙏
Try to be strong , you have the fight in you ❤❤
Just sending you some love Melanie! I hope you are well x
So sorry sweetheart . You are strong and will get through this . ❤
You look beautiful. Strong. Brave and a great mamma. It’s not forever. ❤Australia
Hang in there sweet girl! I cannot imagine how hard this all is. BTW can I just say how beautiful you look?!
Thank you so much!!
Agree with the pink hair. Would love it also. Did not loose my hair to chemo at least not on my head other places which barely came back. Cancer sucks! Love that baby! Prayers and strength to you. Kathy Erie pa
You’re so brave. I am praying for you.❤
Can only imagine how you must feel. Very hard for you.
