Shaved heads

Just not sure how I feel about this.  I applaud people who support cancer causes.  I applaud people who support cancer patients.  But I'm just not sure if I applaud people who shave their heads to support their friends that have cancer.  I'm just not sure.   I know cancer patients don't all share the same experiences or symptoms.  So that's why I don't know how I feel about this yet.  When I buzzed my head at my pixie/buzz party all my girlfriends were so supportive.  Even one was willing to buzz her head but I didn't want her too.  I didn't want her to loose her hair.  I just didn't think it was right.  But she was willing which I appreciated the thought.  Once my hair was gone everyone complimented me.  Said how pretty my eyes were.  How good I looked with short hair.  I also appreciated the compliments but I was eager to quickly put my wig on or cover my head with a scarf.  As time went by I lost all my hair but the biggest shock of it all was loosing my eyebrows and eyelashes at the same time.  Not only was I sick, recovering from surgery and so fatigued, I felt like a monster.  A horrible scary monster.  These girls that shaved their heads are healthy.  They looked like normal women who just happen to shave their head for a great cause.  They were energetic, had their natural skin tone, and had makeup on.  They looked great.  So I guess I'm on the fence because when I did buzz my hair I was still somewhat healthy, alert, and wearing makeup.  In the end, I wasn't.
