I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer (Triple Negative Breast Cancer) in January 2014. I will be starting my first round of Chemotherapy, on February 7th. I decided to have my hair shaved before starting treatment. We celebrated, love and life…..with a little champagne! The fight has just begun!!

My sister will keep you updated on my journey here:

I came across your makeup videos last night. I am sitting here weeping as I am watching this video. You are a beautiful lady and I will keep you in my prayers. I lost my sister to cancer last year and it was devastating. I am so glad you shared your journey with us. God bless you.

I am shaving my head for chemo for ovarian cancer this weekend and letting my four young kids give me the haircut then shaving it completely, this helped me more than you will ever know…

Malley Cakes says:

Just discovered you. Thank you for sharing so much with us. I could hardly watch this video. I shaved my daughter-in-law's head earlier this year when she was in the hospital, receiving chemo. Her cancer was different than yours (she had leukemia), and unfortunately she did not survive. I'm so glad you are doing well. I am a fellow survivor!

Your dignity blows my mind, I have the same BC as you had and I'm watching these videos to prepare myself mentally for the hair cut and all the rest…..  You give me courage, hope you're doing well
