Feeling a Little Cancer Vixen

I got a haircut yesterday. I've had chin-to-shoulder-length hair for the last several years, but since starting chemo I think I've lost about 30% of my hair. It was über thick to begin with, so most people can't tell. But I can SEE MY SCALP! I've never seen my scalp before. It's very pale.

I'm feeling a little bit Cancer Vixen about this, like I'm outsmarting the hair loss. Optimistic, isn't it? At least I can strap on a bandana or a hat and it will cover everything.

We have a Cancer Vixen notecard hanging on the kitchen cupboard and the boys are very enthusiastic about he woman's aggressive stance. They like to talk about Mom fighting cancer. It's very sweet. I think they imagine me kicking and punching a bad guy. It's a much more inspiring image than sleeping and not eating to beat the bad guy.
