Today, my family took me to a wig store saying I wouldn't feel so insecure about being bald because of my chemo treatments. When I told them I accepted myself and didn't want a wig, they came out and told me THEY couldn't accept it. My own family is embarrassed of me over something I can't control. FML

Two things: First:congrats for your strenght and courage, half the healing process is a mental one, when you know you're gonna make it, you WILL make it! Keep fighting and it will be allright. Second, maybe what is embarrassing your family isn't your illness but the sheer fact that you're ill and that they can't to anything to help you. It's not something they can themselves battle against and it may hurt them a lot to see you without hair, a constant reminder that even if they are your family they can't protect you from everything.. I don't know how to say it in english but : Je t'envoie plein de bonnes ondes, courage!

I lost my grandmother to cancer this year, and the worst was when I just didn't believe it when everybody told me she wouldn't be around forever. Do your chemo treatments. Find support. And keep going. In the winter, she used to wear these cute little old lady wool hats to keep warm. I was so surprised when I found out she got them at some super expensive store, because I didn't think she would still care. Why am I writing this? Anyway, maybe get your family to knit you some nice skullcaps, and start being proud of your resilience.

**** them. You could be dying and all they care about is looks. I think you were switched as a baby, if you can accept yourself and they can't accept others, somethings messed up. Their minds, I suppose.
