Random thoughts as we shaved my head:
My face is fat!
I look punk rock!
Less hair makes my face look wider!
Ooh, I got a glimpse of Dena!
I look like Grandma Nettie!
Why is my part showing?
Look at all that silver!
That would have made a beautiful wig! (Alas, Aaron pointed out it’s very thin right now.)
Once my hair starts growing back, it’ll take a while to see the curls again!
SO MUCH HAIR!
We kept a slight buzz cut to keep my head warm and see how the next few days go. It’ll also help ease the transition.
Doran likes my new look. I’m glad someone does! Aaron said he can get closer to me in bed now without my hair being up his nose. I will definitely enjoy not having to deal with my Medusa look in the mornings or anytime for that matter – like after napping!
I’d be ok going au natural at home, but once it gets colder, I’ll definitely need warmth. And I don’t think I want to go out in public like this. I tried on all the head coverings I ordered, and unfortunately, I hate most of them. Yes, it looks weird and different without any hair, so that’s part of it. But it also just doesn’t look good!
Scarves aren’t horrible; I’ll have to figure out how to style/wear the ones I have. I’ll also look online for some small bucket hats – maybe they’ll be half decent. Why can’t I be one of those hipsters that looks cool in a beanie or slouchy hat?
Anyway. Now it’s done. I just have to figure out this next part!

You are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey here. Sending hugs!
Lisa: You are a beautiful individual both inside and outside!! 🙂
Since I don’t know Grandma Nettie I can’t compare your looks to hers. But while you may not feel beautiful, all of the comments(including now mine) show that your beauty comes shining through and warmth radiates to you from all who know you.
You are brave, AND beautiful too. Though I’m not so sure it would be a good idea given where you live, I’d be happy to send you a Buffalo Bills knit cap to keep your head warm (you could safely wear it at home anyway). Bravo to your bravery! 👏🏻👏🏻
Lisa, you look amazing. When it grows back it will be such a bother having to even brush it. Bottom line is it will be back and thicker and curlier and simply gorgeous.
for #WarriorLisa even with partial shavings, once your hair off your face i guess, i see more of your dad than before. best gothic look: the long mohawk. they used to make head coverings for bouffant hair-dos [my curly hair is very full so wore them for a long time when i needed a hat but didnt want to wear a hat]; looser so it wouldnt interfere with your implant. i may have one left. maybe i should sent it to you.
No kidding, Aaron did a great job with the cut!
Love your photo session and punk rock look! Fingers crossed you find the perfect solution to keep warm ❤️
You are beautiful with and without hair. And your attitude is just so admirable! Sending lots of love!
FYI, Lisa, my girlfriend’s hair grew in as curly as it was before she lost it 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Great post! You look amazing!
I love it, looking very strong and ready to kick cancer’s butt.
You have earned your beauty. Take pride in it.
