13 years ago my daughter Amy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. They removed 75% of it surgically. Because of the chemotherapy, her hair (which prior to the disease was long, blonde and thick!!) fell out in clumps.

In order to make her feel less self-conscious, I had my head shaved. She was absolutely astounded when I walked into her hospital room with no hair. Boy, I saved alot of money on shampoo and conditioner that year!!! (My hair wasn't that long to begin with) I have no regrets doing it either, and would do it in a nano-second.
I'm sorry to hear that amy had to go through that. my brother had leukemia when he was a child (5 to 10 years old) and he had no hair for awhile, too. But, that is awesome that you did that for her! If put in that situation, I'd do it in a heartbeat, too.
