    The past few weeks have been quite the journey for me. On Friday, August 12th, I received my first round of chemotherapy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
    I knew my hair was likely going to start falling out within the next few weeks, but I wasn’t quite ready to completely let go. Instead, I decided to have a little bit of fun! Two hair cuts and shave later… here we are. ❤️
    I hope you enjoy going on this journey with me, and maybe I can even inspire some of you out there who are going through the same thing. My best advice: embrace the change, appreciate your natural beauty, and remember - it will grow back (or so they tell me 😅).
    I honestly thought losing my hair would be way more emotional, but I think the fact that I was able to accept it in stages really helped. It also helped to have my number one partner in life, Brian, by my side the entire way. And there in the end when we knew it was just plain old time to shave it off.
    Thanks, as always, for the continued support. Some days I wake up wondering how on earth we got to this point… but I am also thankful every day that I have such an amazing community rallying behind me.
    For now, I keep looking in the mirror and saying “I’M BALD!” But… I do have to say, it’s so much easier to maintain. 😂
    PEEF, Hope & Love,
    Jessica 🧸❤️🧸💚🧸💜

    When I was treated for Hodgkins Disease during the winter of 1970 I too lost my hair. One spring day I was especially down - sad that cancer had taken so much from me, a 23 year old newlywed. I was blessed to have a young husband, very much like your Brian and one day , I remember how he lightened the mood when he said “Come outside with me. I will water your head and maybe that will help your hair grow.” Of course it did grow and came back thick and with the same natural curl. I wish that for you, and most of all I pray for your complete recovery and a long life like I have been blessed with despite that rough start.

    When my wife started her chemo she asked me to shave her hair off just to get that part of the process over with. We put her hair out in the backyard for birds to use as nesting material. She also got a beret to keep her head warm - we lose a lot of heat from our heads. Your hair will grow back - curly at first.

    I loved all the styles you tried. When I had cancer, I took a “Look good feel better” class offered by cancer society. Might check it out, if you haven’t already. It was taught by beauty school teacher. We got free cosmetics, and showed us how to tie scarves, etc. They recommended wearing big earrings to rock the bald look. It took cancer to get me to try short hair, now I won’t wear it any way but pixie. Praying you have an easy time with chemo, and full recovery! The WFPB can’t hurt! You got this!

Also, the full removal of hair gives greater emphasis to those beautiful eyes so wear the full loss of hair with pride because it highlights your beauty!

    Hi Jessica, my name is April. I’m 49. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in early 2022. Before chemo I got my hair cut very short like your 2nd cut and then at the end of July after approx the same amount of time after you started chemo mine started falling out. I sat here for a few days running my fingers through it before I finally buzzed it all off myself. It’s weird when I catch a glance of myself in a mirror. I’ve chosen to wear these (I call them gypsy head scarves) that I found online and when the weather cools down I’ll wear beanies. My story is long but suffice to say in late April after my exploratory abdominal surgery/omentum & lymph nodes removal the surgeon couldn’t perform the radical hysterectomy because it had spread into other places in my pelvis, my uterus had fallen onto my bowel and everything is all stuck together making it dangerous. I have a very rare blood clotting disorder so after surgery had to go daily for weeks and weeks to have my blood tested first thing in morn and then have a few hours of fibrinogen replacement at the same place I have chemo now. Then my huge abdominal incision got infected and had to do 2 rounds of Keflex. This delayed chemo for me until July. I had already knew it was in my cervix and one ovary before surgery and they did all the scans but I guess it took exploratory surgery to really see the state of things inside. Friday I get scans to see if it’s shrinking and Monday is my 4th round of paclitaxel & Carboplatin. If it’s shrinking they will be able to perform the radical hysterectomy in November. After every chemo treatment I am hardly able to walk due to neuropathy in my lower legs (I’m type 1 diabetic). I never felt the neuropathy before chemo but week 3 after is my best week and I catch up on laundry! Sorry this is so long! I want to say wow you look awesome with short hair and bald! You have such a cute face and beautiful eyes! I’ve worn short hair for years now and I love it! Take care!💓

    Don’t worry about hair loss. it will grow back . I had my hair cut short after first chemo. A few days later I was taking a shower before going to work. All of sudden it started falling out in large clumps. My husband got the vacuum cleaner to get rid of all the loose hair. Good thing I had one of those beanies to wear. Ask hairdresser on how to treat your scalp .

    Honestly for me having my husband finally just shave off all of my hair was a relief. I felt like it was torture just watching it fall out. I wore hats all the time, my parents bought me a beautiful real hair wig and it was so uncomfortable. My advice is be sure that’s what you really want before you spend alot of money on one. Everyone that I know to this date didn’t like them. I actually think you had a great idea to go shorter and shorter giving you time to adjust. I went from long to none in 10 minutes. You are going to be fine, you have the best attitude going into this journey. Just take a breath, it’s ok. My prayers are with you❣️

    I'm crying as I'm watching your video. I remember when I looked at my bald head, it was the one and only time I cried. I said to myself "this breast cancer and chemo must be really really serious business!" I decided to stay grateful that I had good doctors and good insurance. I also had a good job waiting for me when I finished my treatment. My husband and I had enough income so that I could take a year off and did not have to go back to work during treatment. Not everyone is that fortunate. God bless you Jessica and Brian.

One plus for me was was when it grew back there was no gray in my hair. That may be something for you to look forward to….and when it grows back it comes in really fast. Thinking of you and saying prayers for your speedy recovery. You got this!!!

I would get in the shower and coat my hair with conditioner and come thru it with a wide tooth comb. That became to much and I was Sooo tired of hair shedding everywhere went that day and had it buzzed. You will have your moments mourning a little bit for your hair loss and other times where it's a relief.

    I just went through this with stage 3b ovarian. As of now I am NED and my heart goes out to you so much. So many of us know how this feels and we want you to know you are not alone. The amount of solidarity I feel for you is just bursting my heart. I wish I could reach through the screen and hug you. It's going to be okay. You are strong, gorgeous, and a fighter. It won't be easy. It's going to be the toughest thing you ever do and the amount of bravery you need is mind boggling. Take one day at a time. Feel every emotion. Laugh. Cry. Scream. Repeat. Ask for the magic mouthwash for your mouth and throat. Ask about taking Claritin for the bone pain (trust me, it helps). Try baby wash and coconut oil on your scalp because it can be sore and tender. A soft beanie will help when you sleep. Also... my eyes and eyelids bothered me so badly during chemo. I would get big styes from the clogged oil glands. Amazon sells these great eyelid wipes that helped. Mineral oil will help if they get too dry and it's hard to see. I wish I could just send all of what I learned in some crazy brain dump to you. Just take care of yourself! Things are going to start tasting awful so have some hard candy to suck on! Just keep going! You got this!

    I could feel the emotion I was seeing in your face and couldn’t help but cry. You are beautiful with and without hair. It amazes me how much we hide with our hair. Your eyes and smile just pop now that you have no hair. Keep on fighting and thanks for sharing this with us.

    I actually loved the freeing feeling when I shaved my hair off after 3 weeks of chemo. I had fun with scarves and hats! Never wore a wig! Then Enjoyed the journey and stages of playing with it as it grew back! Yes, it will grow softer and healthier than it’s been in years! Wear big earrings!

    Jessica, I cried for you. But then I saw your beautiful eyes and your true beauty without your heavy hair. (Your hair is thick!) You are stunning! After you get comfortable with the situation, let the hats go and rock those baby blues! (Both haircuts were adorable on you. The short cut really opened up your face and freshened your look.)

    omgosh, Jessica you've been hiding 3 other adorable versions of yourself, each haircut was cute and cuter and cutest! I was almost ready to cry with you getting shaven but you were so courageous and Brian was so loving and gentle. You are quite lovely, totally rocking being bald. Your ability to stay so positive has given all your fans courage too, should we ever be in your shoes [or to those who may be going through the same as you right now]. The photos of both hairstyles and especially the priceless ones of you with Mom are beautiful as are you. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey. Sending love and wishes for a speedy recovery, Barb.

    Like you, I too underwent TaxolCarbo (Paclitaxol and Carboplatin) chemotherapy, for ovarian and endometrial cancer, in 2010. I also underwent two major surgeries. I can remember that liberating moment when I had my head shaved too - no more hair falling in my dinner and clogging the shower! ☺️Stay strong my lovely girl, there is hope and light at the end of treatment. ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

    You look good. I lost my hair to alopecia universalis 15 years ago. Sometimes wigs look so much better than my real hair. You can change them up and be blonde one day and brunette the next. I order inexpensive ones from Paula Young. Still get plenty of compliments on my wigs from people who don't know they are wigs. You got this. It will be okay.
