Book Cover & Preview Text
During radiation, all I did was just lie there, but somehow I managed to lose all my hair.
Little by little, it would come off my head. Just like my dog, I began to shed.
I didn't let it bother me much ; as a matter of fact , my bald head felt good to touch.
Sometimes people couldn't help but stare. I would just wear a bandana and pretend they weren't even there. After all, didn't anybody ever let them know that it is only hair and it will grow!
