Makes Me Think - Today, I had to give up a challenge with my friends to grow out our hair for a year. My hair was about 20 inches long. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, just yesterday. I'm going to lose all my hair before the challenge is over. But my four friends involved in the challenge showed up with scissors and smiles this afternoon. We cut our hair together to donate, and dyed what was left crazy colors. We're donating over 50 inches. And they say they’re keeping their hair as short as mine for as long as it takes me to recover. Their support MMT.

My sister was diagnosed with that same cancer eight years ago and is now a survivor. It's not going to be easy and you will have to battle like she did but it gets better I promise. If you have that amazing support system behind you like you say that you do, you will be more than fine! Don't give up and the important thing is to always keep a positive attitude and always keep faith :)
