Hi Johnny - Thank you for writing and for sharing the link to the FANTASTIC "Bald Headed Blues" video! It's so wonderful to see the three talented women who perform the song, as well as all the others featured in the video, who take on the idea of being bald from chemo with such strength, wit and humor.

I'm Still Here, I'm Standing Tall
My Same Eyes Stare Back At Me
Even tho I look differently
I'm sorry you lost your son Andy to cancer. You've produced an incredible video in his honor that I'm sure has meant a lot to women with cancer in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. Losing one's hair is such an emotional issue, and the support that comes from people like you - and others - means a lot to those of us who are facing it. On the one hand, it seems a bit vain to be worried about losing hair given that it's our lives at stake. On the other hand, we are dealing with so many assaults to our identity that having this very visible one added to them can be heartbreaking. A dose of humor, along with support, goes a really long way in making all of this a lot easier.
Thank you for caring so much,
Pat
