Success:)

Gillies in her do-rag!!
Here I was so worried about having to answer questions coming to work bald! I guess I'm scarier than I realized, because not one of my students asked me about it! One student asked if I donated my hair and I said yes, and that was it! I've now seen all of my students so feel much more comfortable and confident about coming to work now.
One of my professors asked me very sweetly and when I said "chemo", he simply said "honey!" which of course brought tears to my eyes. I was able to keep it together thank goodness, since I was sitting in front of 100 people at the time.
Thank you to so many of my colleagues for the hugs I've gotten over the past 2 days! I can't think of any better way to express your support:)
Bring on chemo treatment #4 this Friday!

    So glad you were able to face and win that challenge. Its amazing how we often underestimate our own resilience.

    It's because you're so stunning without hair everyone thinks it's a fashion statement.
