Announcement Remembering Sumi

[N F C]

Thank you everyone

I got discharged from the hospital yesterday. My usual transport was not available, so I got a taxi. All the way from Dublin to Tipperary! Yes, it cost a lot, but after not seeing my son for 2 weeks... I said let's do this. It was worth the trip too, seeing my beautiful young man last night was so amazing! He made it worth it....

I'm glad this morning to be home for a different reason... When I brushed my hair, it started falling out. Big time... I ended up leaving much of it still waiting for the brush and figured I'll leave it in place for now... Seeing how much I've already lost makes me realise that it's inevitable... My hair has been growing for about 15 years now. It's down to the bottom of my rear end. Now it's going... I guess it's a small price to pay for getting healthy again??

It is what it is...

I hope you are all doing well ❤ I'm sitting here watching the wind blow like crazy outside. Relaxing and enjoying being home.

Glad to hear you're home and back with your son Sumi! Your hair will grow back, as long as you get healthy that's the important thing

I'm so glad you are out, and can see your son. That's the best medicine.

I've lost my hair to chemo. It's traumatizing, but you get used to it. It's the price you pay for getting rid of the cancer. Hair grows back eventually, and the daily maintenance is easier until it does.

Your day sounds lovely. Take care of yourself Sumi.

It's just hair, Sweet Lady. As much as the fashion world wants us to think otherwise, it is NOT your "crowning glory." That particular piece lies much deeper inside ... and you have more than enough to make up for some empty follicles. So gloss up that head and let it shine, Sumi; then it'll match the rest of you - Bright and Beautiful!

I'm so glad to hear that you're out again! This has been a painful thread to follow, as it recaps a journey my family made some time ago. My brother is a brain cancer survivor and I've walked that pathway with him for years, now. His tumor was too deep to get it all, but surgery reduced it to a "manageable" size. Ten years later, it began to grow again, bur chemo & radiation beat it into submission ... err ... REmission ... again. He's going on 15 years, now and doing really well. We plan on sharing your wisdom for the next 15 years and beyond, so, keep the faith, @sumi. Just as importantly, keep those follow-up appointments. As much of a nuisance as they were, they averted a second shot at tragedy. You are a strong lady with a great support system. You've got this!

We could make you some beautiful hats.

How about one of these? You'd look absolutely stunning.

Gosh, I wish I could hug you all tonight ❤

@MROO thanks for sharing your story about your brother I want and need to hear things like that. About the survivors. I'm planning to be one myself...

@The Farmers' Daughter I'll stick with beanies for now! But thanks for the laugh!

To all of you, big Thank you for your post and messages. It means a lot to me?

I'm feeling a bit better today. Went for a short walk with DS earlier and really enjoyed it. I'll hopefully sleep better tonight. The last few nights were a struggle. But I'll get there...
