Tomorrow Caleb and I head back to Houston for cycle 2 of chemotherapy. I’m rested and energized from all the time I finally got to spend with my kids. I’ve got my bag packed with all of the wonderful things friends and family sent me. And I am ready.

Dr. Ravi told me that cancer treatment was a bit like going to war and that, no matter how I look during the battle, I’ll come out of it healthy and just as beautiful as I was before it all began. I have a feeling that once this is all over, it won’t matter what I look like –  beating this cancer will give me the strength to feel beautiful no matter what.

So, if you’re going through the same thing and your hair is falling out, just know it’s so you can go into battle without distraction and kick cancer’s ass.
