Appreciate all the compliments. It really means a lot to me. Mostly because, I looked truly awful when I was actually doing chemo in the early stages. I looked like a Zombie, a hollow shell of myself. I had no hair and was gaunt. And now I'm in the recovery period, and I want to get back my life. I want to get back what cancer took from me. It took so many things from me (how I looked, how I felt, my mental state).

And so it means so much that people are saying nice things. I truly appreciate it. You guys are amazing. :D

I didn't have cancer, but I did also have to fight for my life. And looking horrible and feeling bad all day really is miserable. And being weak, I had to start all over again. Once you get back in there and can enjoy life again everything feels so good.

Yeah. I think the trick is, finding things to live for. Life is really so vast, and great. And sometimes it's hard to find the things that make you happy. But I think once you are able to do that, it can be so amazing.

I'm kind of at that point. I now know I have a bunch of things to look forward to and be happy about. And so I'm just moving on from this terrible year. I'm putting so much poison behind me. I'm just really glad I'm finally able to have hair again. Finally able to look the way I used to. And it means so much to me that people are being so kind and generous to me. It really makes me feel good, and gives me more energy to take back what Cancer took from me.

Again, so many *hugs* :D

If anyone ever wants to meet, or if anyone ever needs anything. And I really mean anything. Hit me up, and I'll always do what I can to help.

Daaawwww :) You look great!
 
Might as well, here's me even I've used my real pic for many months before.

Alright suckers. I'm in. Don't laugh. My hair is still thin from the Chemo. First chemo they had me on (that didn't work) made me lose all my hair. The later chemo didn't have hair loss effects. But my hair is still growing back and is super thin. =/ I know I need to shave. But once you lose your hair, you realize you took it for granted. So I'm enjoying any hair I get growing back (no matter how thin it is). I'll eventually clean up.

Whoah, you're fighting cancer? Your hair seems to be killing it too! Best of wishes.
 
Ka-chow!

I was. But I went into remission 2 months ago. Also the later half chemo I was on had less hair loss effects. When I started a year and a half ago, I lost all my hair. Everything. It was really bad. I also dropped to 90 pounds. I had to try different kinds of chemo, because my treatments failed multiple times. And the last one they used finally kicked my cancer out.

Not all chemo has hair loss effects. But yeah it was a long drawn out battle for me. I'm so happy it's over! :) My hair is much thinner growing back though. Prior to cancer I had a thick head of hair and it was long hair. I hope my hair someday gets stronger.

The thin hair might stick, to be honest. It's been over two years since my chemo and I had hair that was SUPER thick. Now it's thin, but easier to maintain. I also grew my beard out after chemo and have kept it ever since.

I looked terrible bald and without body hair. I look much better with both, for sure. Since this last surgery (which is hopefully the end of my cancer battle) I have been feeling much better, physically and emotionally. It takes a lot out of you.

Ah that sucks :(

But thanks for letting me know. I'm okay with that though. If thin hair is the price I have to pay to live, then it's a good price. You can't see in my pic, but the side and back of my hair is very thin. Also my facial hair looks thicker because it's a compressed pic. The full picture shows it more patchy and thin.

I'm still glad I'm at least slightly looking back to who I was. :) BTW congrats on where you are at with your cancer. It makes me happy and proud to meet others who are fighters. We should hang out sometime. Although you probably live far away. Maybe Xbox live or PSN :D

If you need any support or someone to talk to, I'm always a PM away.

If I have it in my power, I will do it. I'll try my best. GAF has given so much to me . They supported me and gave me courage to keep fighting when my own family wouldn't. And even recently when my best friend abandoned me. GAF didn't. This community has always been a constant support never turning their back or giving up.

So I would do anything for someone in need on here. Just let me know! :)

Yeah, my hair at certain angles looks super thin and almost if I'm balding. Also my beard can be patchy, but a small price to pay.

And sure, that would be totally cool.

Thank you so much for the advice. I was doing this all on my own so I didn't have a lot of help. If you don't mind I might PM you to ask some more questions about post cancer.

Edit: I'll add you on skype, sure. I'm out with my GF (on mobile). When I get back I will add you. :)
