I pleaded with her to shave my head


And occur in very soon. While chemotherapy first was a walk in the park, he said: I have a second for four days. Nauseous, exhausted, I could not sleep with the headache of steroids only that the bombing would not go away, I phased in throughout the house in my country, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate praying for relief.

On the morning of the fourth day, I sat down porridge eating and drinking prune juice (I will spare you the details of the tables to combat the disease do to your metabolism) and I broke down and cried - for myself, my family after to see me like this and I'm wondering why it was not singled out for this disease and criticized in the first place (instead of your pathetic self to go through the roof when you have cancer). Did not help that during this time my hair started falling out.

For some reason I thought I was when I lost my hair during treatment, and it would slide off my head at once and comfort in my country. Instead, relaxed a little pores left to drift off, such as dandelion gone to seed, and whenever they like. As a result, there was hair everywhere - in bed, in the bathroom and eat dinner in my country. I did my best to uphold them, but do not brush you are starting to look like one of those guys with the sad comb over.

On the fifth day, I woke up without a headache and feeling better. So much better I decided that the time had come to visit an accountant.

The old maxim that 'nothing is certain but death and' taxes, is still true, and while I'm busy to avoid the former still have to pay the latter. I had a quick look in the mirror. And reflect the image again in my face was not significant. I had quite a few bald patches on one side and on the other side stuck out at odd angles. Depending on how you stood up, looked either like Edward Scissorhands or one of the brothers of broadcast bald.

I stopped to do your duty taxes, off at Superquinn in Lucan. As you enter the shopping center there is a small barber shop located outside the front door. There was no one in Iraq, except the girls who work there.

Taking a deep breath and went in and asked one of them to shave my head, and explained why I could not bring myself to go to the salon where the ladies, I felt, and everyone is staring at me. "We do not normally do," explained one of the girls.

She agreed I have to admit that I just can not deal with things and falling in the end of the day, to do so. It took all of two minutes, but during that time and found that the girl had done the same thing about her mother again in Latvia when she was undergoing treatment with chemotherapy. Was afraid that I was distressed as her mother, and thought to do it again really upset her. He assured me that they have, instead of being upset, I felt so much better now that you've seized control of the two modes.

Also ended a middle-aged man stepped through the door. Literally blanched when he saw me sitting there with my head bald. I showed my mom my new look on the main road. Being my mother said to me, like O'Connor Sunaid. I worked my friends did not mention Sunaid But Christy Moore on his way to our conversation! The next thing I had to deal with the message of health and safety, pointing out that they will not reply me to my chest and industrial bras breast. I had already purchased these items from Mary Downey Almacare, a service of aftercare specialist, who holds clinics in various hospitals to help women who have breast cancer surgery. The system works like this.

I received a prescription for these items from my breast care nurse, which is located in a hospital in Beaumont. Then advised me when Mary was available in the hospital, and traveled to the update, and processing. Spent a lot of time to make sure Mary that everything fitted correctly and that I was happy with the way I looked. I paid in advance and Mary applies to health and safety of recovery, which then returned to me. Here, the red tape is all the more ridiculous.

Dealt with in Dublin, but because I live in Kildare I should have been installed by another company in the city center, Safety and Environment wants me to attend there, although I had my suit and bras. As the costs are the same and women in my situation do not realize that the existence of these limits, it seems absurd, and I must say, annoying way to treat a person who was just a mastectomy and chemotherapy passes.

Call for a woman that signed the letter and discovered that although she agreed with me, and said it still needed to make my case and get approval to recover. I proposed to her that what I was writing a series of articles in the Herald this evening, and it would be nice to be able to say that this issue has been resolved. A phone call back in a couple of minutes later, this was ...
