Question about hair loss.. At what time did you decide to just do it and cut your hair? I have lost about 80% now and just can't bring myself to do it although my daughter is telling me it would probably feel better and not itch as much.

Celebration (Cancer is shrinking): just had my first "real" food in 4 months... my tumor is in the center of my chest and so large that is was pushing my esophagus to one side making it difficult to swallow anything other than liquids.. I just had a bowl of dinty Moore beef stew and I'm stuffed.. it feels so good to get somewhat back to a normal state,,, I have one more round of Chemo and about 15 more radiation treatments and im done(fingers crossed)
