Spoke with Sis last night. She sounded so tired on the phone, but by the time we were done speaking she had perked up a bit. She told me about a documentary she watched recently that was really eye opening and I thought I'd share the details with you all. It is called The Breast Cancer Diaries. Here's a blurb from the movie's webpage:
Ann Murray Paige was a successful local anchorwoman in Maine before she put her career aside to raise her children. At age 38, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, Ann returns to her familiar place in front of the camera-this time, however, exploring herself as the subject.
Sis was really struck by the segment about hair loss - probably because she is just starting to notice hair loss of her own. Sis shaved her head back in the day and looked amazing, so I am sure being bald will suit her very well... and besides, family and friends have knit her some rockin' hats!
Anyway, if you are able, you should check out this documentary: http://www.aimpages.com/thediariesfilm/profile.html

Hi Melanie,
Thanks so much for putting this link out there. I watched the movie yesterday afternoon and was so struck by Ann's bravey and courage to put it out there.
Your sister is another brave and beautiful woman. Lucky us for knowing her!
Bald is VERY beautiful. and makes for some stunning black & white photos ;) Kudos for finding such a wonderful film!
I have a picture of Candace from years ago when she had very short hair and I think it is the most stunning picture. So, I think that bald will be equally as stunning. She is beautiful.
