Hair update

On July 19, 2019July 29, 2019 By betweenthebusyIn Cancer, hair, oligodendrogliomaLeave a comment

Don't get to used to updates on my hair, because usually I literally spend 10 seconds on it in the mornings. It wasn't until I was in college when I learned how to tame my natural curls, tame the frizz etc etc. I started to color my hair about a year ago, but honestly the …

How to be happy when you have cancer

Over the past 3 weeks I've learned a lot about brain tumors and brain cancer... more than I ever wanted to know. And, some of the information I probably would rather still not know.

Well… this is happening.
