losing the hair was tough on andy too. he said it made him "look sick", when before he just looked normal. it passed pretty quick as i would not let him dwell in self pity...i also reminded him that bald is in and he looked like everyone else wink i went and bought him alot of caps and beanies.
i basically threatened family and friends not to cry around him, if they felt the need to cry...leave the room. that seemed to work. the stares in public, i couldnt control. i just tried to focus him on other things. i couldnt go around threatening and smacking EVERYONE in public, although it did cross my mind cool
good luck on the next round. keep us posted.
