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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

ppl with cancer don't loose their hair until chemotherapy idiot. and a lot of worse things could happen, YOU could be the one with cancer

to #6. the loss of hair doesn't not 'instantly happen'. it isn't a result of cancer. it's a side effect of treatment. as far as I am concerned the op was looking to score brownie points and look good. YDI for worrying about shaving your head before going to see your friend.

You're a good friend OP. You don't instantly lose your hair, it comes with lots of chemotherapy. So if her cancer is really bad she just might lose her hair eventually. If you're willing to cut off your hair without any thought because of a friend you are probably a really good person. Not a lot of people could part with their hair. :]

It really is the thought, OP. That's an amazing gesture. Her hair may fall out eventually with chemo. On the bright side, hair grows back.

I went through cancer and you only lose your hair at chemotherapy, anyway it's the thought that counts
