Yesterday one of my coworkers clients showed up for his appointment with a shaved head. She asked him about it and he said his staff had raised money for breast cancer ($2500 I think), and in exchange for that he had to shave his head. Last year the building manager of our medical building did that, and it was a woman. Mieka figures that next year that our office should do that. It would go toward a good cause, and would probably add some great publicity to our clinic. Now I don't think I am a really prideful person, or a vain person, but the thought of that really scares me. I think I would look really funny bald, and I think my ears stick out too much. However as I think of how funny I would look, I think of all the chemotherapy patients out there who have no choice in the matter. They lose their hair without a choice, and not just their head hair but also their eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. It is definitely something to think about....as a woman it does kind of scare me, but maybe it would also be an enlightening experience. I could become a hat person, and I sure would save money on haircuts, shampoo and styling products....hmmmm....
