I'm getting my mediport put in this upcoming Thursday. I'm so thankful that I found your videos. I'm very impressed on how you explain things. I'm getting my PET scan on the 9th and I'll know on the 11th what stage I'm in. I find your story very comforting and very informative. I'll continue to follow your videos. I'm going to tell my story in the same way. Thank you again. I'm really thankful that our technology gives us the ability to share with other people who are going through the the same things that we are. I'm sure you can't respond to every comment but I hope you can respond to mine. I look forward to other videos that you will post.
You're so inspiring! I've always been afraid of going to the doctors because 3 of my grandparents have died of cancer. Most recently I lost my grandma in June 2012. With my bad genetics I'm so afraid that I too will have cancer someday. You've inspired me to face my fears and go to the doctors for a check up. Thank u.
My husband watched this video with me because it hit home so much for me! He said your Beautiful and very Brave.....we send love, prayers and hugs Amanda!!!!!
I still remember when my brother and I did this for our mom. It must've been like 15 or 16 years ago. It's really incredible that you're willing to share this with us. Much love. Keep being strong, we're all here for you!
Your strength inspires me! This journey that you are on is a very tough one (no one knows this better than you) but your positive attitude and optimism is truly amazing. I've watched all of your videos from the time of diagnosis to this point and will continue to watch until you are cancer-free. Stay strong beautiful and don't forget to smile
U are nothing short of brave and amazing! You are still you, with or without hair! You are still the same 1 Strong Blond! Thank you for sharing such a moment. I love the many different styles of hair as the cut went on. You can really rock the Mohawk-ish style!
I remember how hard losing my hair was the first time. I am currently undergoing treatment for a HL relapse and had to buzz my head AGAIN the day after Thanksgiving. It was easier this time. What I've learned is that SO much of dealing with cancer is mind over matter. Allow yourself those moments of crying, anger, etc. It has helped me to try and carry on like I'm normal. I've been dealing with this for a year and a half and I know I am a much stronger person now. PM me if you want to chat.
You're such a strong beautiful woman! Earlier this year I shaved a part of my hair for be brave a shave a charity organisation in Australia where you can colour or shave your hair to raise money for cancer research. You're so brave and so wonderful, I pray everyday for you to get better and to kick cancers butt! Thinking of you always xxxx
You are so beautiful!!! I am sorry you are going through this but I love your spirit and how you are embracing this!!! My friend that went through this was very much like you, he did great and so will you!! Here with you very step of the way!!
Wow, that was really brave of you, showing us that! I'm not surprised to see you dabbing your eyes, but you really stayed strong through that. Crazy to say this, but sometimes the short hair on you kind of suited you! :P It'll grow back in time though, after you've crushed your cancer once and for all. We all love you very much, and will always be here for you. Why am I posting this comment at 2AM in the UK? Staying up to do an essay, but I had to watch this. Stay strong! :)
Amanda! You look amazing! For genetic reasons my moms hair thinned out and eventually she lost it. He got a wig and at first it was difficult for her, but now, even though some bar has grown back, she wants to wear a wig and experiment with styles. My hair I starting to thin now and regardless of causes...I feel the same way you do about losing hair. But I just look to my mom. She literally gets compliments everyday and 99% of people can't tell it's a wig. You look beautiful! So much courage!
believe me when I say this, and probably everyone else is saying it. You pull it off very well actually. not many girls stay bald and pretty. but you're still beautiful ^-^
You look gorgeous! You are so brave! I too have always had long hair and I'd I were I your situation I would have been bawling! You are beautiful, kind and strong! Keeping you on my prayers and sending you lots of love!
I watched this through welled up eyes. I can only imagine how difficult that was. That took tremendous courage Amanada and I hope by conquering this step you have found new inner strength and feel proud of yourself. I watched the videos from eyelineherblog, she has alopecia and offers ways of dealing with no hair. I think it would be helpful. You are in my thoughts
You look so cute and Long hair or not you are forever beautiful and so brave, I can only imagine how hard it was to cut your hair but doing that and everything your going through and keeping on smiling, I cannot put into words how incredible you so truely are. An inspiration to so many im sure.
my heart goes out to you I too have cancer and am undergoing treatment my hair is thinning and will eventually all come out. I have long hair and I'm going to do exactly the same as you the bob first then off before it comes out, stay strong x
I am starting chemo next week. I'm not nearly as nervous about that as I am about getting my head shaved. I have cut my hair short now to help with the transition like you did. I have one wig and just ordered another. I am trying to see this as one step in the process but it is very emotional.
Thank you for sharing......keep smilin....you got this! I just received my port and first chemo....now a hair cut actually this is my third haircut. I'd rather proact than react on this hair thing. Not really upset about this still in a fog I guess.
I mean this is just from an outsiders perspective, maybe it's just really emotional because hair is a big thing for woman, and looking like a woman. Also..it really settles in that you have something wrong, and it's scary. But just take it day by day, you'll be fine we all have faith in you!
