I guess she is going to keep quiet from now on. I go to the same barber, actually hair salon, for the past 35 years, so when he, the owner, saw me come in after 8 months post chemo, his jaw dropped. Was no hiding anything with my weight loss, hair loss, and walking in with my walker that something was wrong. He does a great job in keeping my hair looking its fullest after chemo and radiation, but it's not the same thickness as it was. Even at 52, I'm lucky to have a full set of hair.

I like the boat thing lol. Even if someone gets my name wrong, I go with the flow lol, and don't say anything.
