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.
