I've downsized.

I decided earlier today, after noticing one too many hairs floating in my coffee, that I needed to take control of the hair situation.

I'm not kidding anyone by leaving it patchy. No one thinks I'm trying to pull off some chic new artsy hairstyle.

Honestly, it was just falling out everywhere, so I decided to wash my hair hard 3x tonight and just see what would come out.

Was I shocked? No.
Okay, kind of. There appeared to be a small rat in the drain of my shower when I was done.

I won't lie. There were definitely some tears shed. It sucks losing my hair, but I'm certain my new hair will be healthy, shiny and cowlick-free! A girl can dream, right?





This pic also shows my lovely chemo port. We call it my "button."

  3. Oh Angela, I see your tears and it breaks my heart. You are an inspiration to others even when things are beyond difficult for yourself. You are beautiful. You are kind. You are strong. But most importantly, you are loved - by so many people who will all help you through this, one day at a time.

  15. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
