Kickin' Cancers Booty One Day at a Time

This is what happens at bath time after an increase in chemotherapy medicines.  As if Joaquin losing his hair once isn't bad enough!  Since his treatment is 3 years long, he is expected to lose his hair several more times.  It is not something a mother can ever get accustomed to.  When the hair begins to thin again, it becomes a constant reminder of the cancer his little body is trying to fight.  My first instinct is to shave my own head.  It gives me a sense of control over something I have no power over.  This time rather than doing it in a Britney Spears-esque manner, I will go to Washington DC and do it with 46 other mommas that fight for their children too.  It is a privilege and honor to be one of these courageous mommas.  SEPTEMBER 21..stay tuned.
