they never told me about the good side of losing your hair! If your chemo is the kind that makes your hair fall out, and yours does fall out, celebrate. The hair follicles are among the fastest growing cells in the body. If your hair falls out, it means the chemo is working!

I had stage three endometrial cancer, now stage four. It's been back twice, but it's been nine years since my original diagnosis and I'm doing fine! Chin up, kiddo!
