Today, I shaved my head because I heard that one of my good friends got cancer. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's not bald. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I completely shaved my head as a gesture for my boyfriend's mother, who was suffering from cancer and having a terrible time undergoing chemotherapy. Turns out she doesn't even have cancer, and my boyfriend thought I wouldn't have the guts to do it. FML
Today, it's the 3-month anniversary marking the day two friends and I shaved our heads as a show of solidarity for a friend starting chemo. Her prognosis is good and her hair only thinned slightly. We, on the other hand, look like a motley crew of lesbian biker chicks. FML
Today, I slipped and gashed my head bad enough that my head had to be shaved to be sewn up. Right after it had finished growing back from chemotherapy. FML
Today, my daughter shaved her head in solidarity for a friend who went bald from cancer. Normally this would be an amazing gesture. Unfortunately, her “friend” is a fictional character from a book she’s reading. My daughter had almost 24-inch long hair. FML
Today, I had an elderly woman come up to me and tell me how well I pull off the look of being bald. She said that most women can't look attractive without hair. Then she asked me if I had cancer. I had to explain to her that I am, in fact, a man, and I shave my head because I'm a swimmer. FML
Today, I brought my best friend to my uncle's birthday party. We were having a great time until my grandmother walked up to us and said to me, "You sure have a nice looking boyfriend." My friend is a girl. She has cancer and lost all of her hair due to chemotherapy. FML
Today, after I watched my girlfriend get her head shaved in preparation for chemo a few days ago, I took the clippers and buzzed my long, well kept hair, gave her a loving hug, reminding her that, "We're at this together." She later broke up with me because I, pretty much, "look like shit." FML
Today, when I went out to get some groceries with my mother, a small girl came up to me and said I was an "ugly egg" because I'm a bald girl. I had to shave my head in order to have brain surgery to relieve me of the symptoms of my neurological disorder. FML
Today, I let a friend cut my hair. I soon went from having a 'fro to looking like I lost a fight with a lawn mower. FML
Today, I went to school with a bad haircut. I got about 50 cancer jokes so far. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I shaved my head when my dad had cancer, but I had the advantage of knowing he was bald. but I commend you for trying

it depends on the severity of the cancer, right? so kemo therapy may or may not come soon? it's great that you were supportive about it, though

If I was a twat, I would say,"I see what you did there."

Really surely avoiding a hairy situation would be deciding to shave her hair, at the last minute not shaving it.

and sometimes it doesn't at all. my dad had cancer and was undergoing treatments for nearly two years before his death and his hair was fine.
ImaginaryFoe 1
Yeah, out of all the people I know with cancer, only about 10% lost their hair and it was about a year in for them. A supportive gesture but unnecessary. I hope the friend takes it in the spirit meant.

cancer patients usually lose their hair because of chemotherapy. if the OPs friend hasn't had chemo yet then her hair is very less likely to fall off.

I don't get the idea of how was it supposed to help her even if she was bald...

OP's tryibg to be supportive. A lot of people lose their hair when they do chemo.

I know what happens when you get cancer because my grandmother died that way. But this shaving thing reaminds me of this south park episode with “Conjoined Twin Myslexia Awareness Week”...
