This is me 61 weeks ago, before I was diagnosed with cancer.
I really miss my long hair, and i cant wait to have it back!
My first chemo session
I looked pretty rough there, good thing i had Bailey there by my side:)
Me 2 weeks cancer free
and of corse my cat (because this is imgur)
goodguyC
Having worked at a cancer treatment clinic, patients are told they don't need to shave their head until a few weeks after chemo begins.

You pretty much know you're pretty when you look good bald and eyebrowless.
Wetflix
Oh you:)

Get it, girl! Congrats.
Wetflix
Thanks so much:)

Wetflix
Thanks so much:)
FSMPirate
And you got it! Fuck yeah!
CapnHoSlapn
Some douche downvoted you for some reason. Anyway congrats :) I wish you healthy and happy 2015. And beyond that of course.
CoconutCyclone
OP is a liar. Only 2 posts, both the same person with cancer, different time scales. It's shady as fuck.
Fireguy97
Good on you Wetflix! Good on you!
Wetflix
Thanks:)

The buzz-top is pretty god-damned adorable with the cat ears/whiskers. Congrats on the cancer-free.
Wetflix
Thanks for the support:)

As a pharma researcher, I can confirm that we're developing chemo drugs that don't cause you to grow cat ears and whiskers.

Whenever I see a comment that starts with "as a..." I immediately assume it's @MisleadingInformation.

It may not have been @MisleadingInformation, but it was misleading information. :)

You should. You'd make a fortune in Japan.

My dad has cancer, he is not doing well. I'm glad that you made it, may you live a long life.

I'm sorry to hear that. Warm thoughts to you and your family.

Nice long hair but you could rock a pixie cut
ilikeblondehair
My hair didn't fall out for nearly a month after treatment started, that includes 3 rounds of chemo. Sorry OP but it seems sketchy
Carmichael106
I know I should just be grateful I'm alive, but sometimes I really miss my hair. It came in thin. Better than nothing!

pretty girl? cancer survivor? cat tax? yeah i think we all know where this is going

Hotness and cancer fighting story, perfect FrontPage combo.

Just to explain, 60 weeks is more than a year guys.

You beat cancer. As someone who lost his mom at 13 this is the nest story ever.

As a gay woman, wow, youre so pretty

You look like a hot famous person. I don't know who. Also congrats on defeating evil.

Bald before first chemo treatment? I must have missed an episode of Gray's Anatomy
MenstrualMonster
Wasnt this girl on the front page yesterday?
Euphio
Honest question, how come you had hair loss before your chemo?
Wetflix
Super sorry should've been clear Meant after my first chemo
Euphio
You still wouldn't have immediately lost all your hair, including your eyebrows right after your first treatment. What's the deal?
sassycass
Depending on the type of cancer, often there are multiple rounds of chemo. i.e. 10 days of chemo, break to recover, 10 days, etc.
Anon4
I want to say congrats but but I'm watching someone important to me die in agony with cancer, so this is hard to swallow.
MetroidPrimeHesTheBest
OP was, is, and always will be a righteous babe!
FMZerek
How did you lose your hair at the first session? Would have taken a few weeks to a month for that to happen (source: secondhand experience)
mockba
some shave it so they don't have to see it fall out source my granddad
Euphio
I had the same questionm. And why eyebrows gone as well?
badatskunks
That pic doesn't look shaved though (no stubble at all) and brows are gone too.
Wetflix
I'm sorry I should've been more clear, it was after my first chemo
goodguyC
I agree, somethings fishy.
jsteelfex
Lots of people who go through chemotherapy shave their heads prior to the treatment. Some people don't like seeing their hair falling out.
CoconutCyclone
Also because it hurts when it starts falling out.
brokendalek
You shouldn't miss your hair, you are still very beautiful with it short. Way to start a new year OP. Congrats!
mollison
My friend was just diagnosed today and I'm struggling. Thank you for posting this.

I'm sorry to hear this. Prayers for him/her. Stay strong :) God Bless
Anon4
Warm regards to you and your friend. Keep being an awesome friend by standing by her or him.
RosiesRed
I'm confused. Why do you have no hair at your first chemo treatment if chemo is what causes the hair loss?
RunsWithScissors0
Either she shaved it before hand or lost it with chemo. My aunt had to have aggressive chemo lost her hair and eyebrows.
KingOfKnights
As someone who had a relative go through cancer, some people just choose to shave the hair off to avoid it falling out in clumps.
lurktastic
ok, i didnt want to be the one to point that out. Thanks!
thelonepig
But, even after "My First Chemo Treatment," it wouldn't be all gone. It doesn't immediately cause all hair to fall out. Something's up.
Wetflix
It was after my first chemo, haha sorry shoulve explained
twentyyearsandthensome
I've always thought girls who could rock short hair are the real beautiful ones. You look gorgeous even without.
twentyyearsandthensome
You're beautiful, OP!
twentyyearsandthensome
I don't know if that's something rude to say ;_;. But I wish I looked like you!!! I'm scared to even tie my hair up cause I hate my jawline.
seastarontheseashore
As someone that has had radiation treatments: shave your head first. Less of a mangy dog look when it falls out.
sorrygodsorrymom
Your long hair was beautiful, but the short shows off that great face! You're inspiring.
Wetflix
Thank you so much:)
PandaPityParty
You actually rock the short hair. Congrats on winning the fight!
Wetflix
Aww thanks I appreciate it so much:)
medicmaybe
Short hair gives you the sexy sassy pixie look. You should keep it
quantumpacket
Spoiler alert: It's probably going to grow back curly ^-^
Imwatchingyou13
I like it better shorter :) though I understand, I'd hate to give up my long hair!
interrogationbear
This truly isn't meant to be an assy question, but doesn't one usually lose their hair after chemo? Also: FUCK FUCKING CANCER.
Natalan
Some people shave before starting treatment so they don't need to deal with losing clumps of hair.
interrogationbear
Oh yeah, I suppose. Just curious!
kmay11
maybe its just me..and i hope it is! But something seems fishy...you joined imgur this month, and your only 2 posts are about you or (1/?)
buttermyarse
It wouldn't surprise me if op knew the girl in the photos or just found it online and posted it here for attention and sympathy.
kmay11
this person with cancer. If it is you, like sincerely congratulations but I want to make sure were all not being played a fool here
Wetflix
Thanks so much:)
goodguyC
Yesterday this poster was 3 months cancer free, today it's 3 weeks cancer free. Fully bald before her first chemo....fishy is right.
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
NOW they're saying that it was after their first chemo...which is STILL fishy since hair doesn't suddenly all fall out after the first round
badatskunks
Agree 100%. And OP is only replying "Thanks so much" on a few comments, no actual answers to any questions people are posing. I call fake.
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
Totally fake all the signs are there.It's disgusting how many fucking upvotes this shit continues to gain.
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
jeez guys chill.. I think the last picture is from a 3 weeks-cancer-free time.. and not a present one. I don't know for sure if it's 1/2
kittenmuse
Yet Christmas just happened so even if this is her, her timeline is messed up. Unless she waited for a year before posting anything.
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
Not sure how many liar posts you've encountered on this site, but this shit seriously has all the classic signs.
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
true but dont look for the bad...
8bits1beard
Cancer didn't change your beauty at all. But damn, your poor dog. He looks terrible in that last pic.
LaughingLlamas
Hardest i've laughed in a while

I was so confused. After a while I realised the dog changed colour. A while later... Omgcat

JosephGordonLevittsLeftSock
i don't get it..
PandaPityParty
Also just read your username and not sure if joke or actually doesn't get it...
PandaPityParty
Dog in second pic is replaced by cat in third and fourth. He's implying that the dog changed into the cat, basically.
MadJackMcJack
I see your degree in Petology is paying off

It's nice to hear these stories OP, thanks for sharing. Cancer has always been something I've wanted to see beaten.

How are you so photogenic? You look great op; good job, good luck, and good life.

I like you better with short hair. Looks good on you.

I'm gonna go ahead and just call bullshit. There's a lot of shade here, and I'm not in the mood. My boyfriend literally just lost (1)
Euphio
a testicle to cancer, and if he had waited any longer it would have been his life. If you want the praise for being pretty, that's fine. (2)
badatskunks
Big hugs to you and yours. Lost my mom 3 years ago. I'm glad your bf caught it in time. <3 May he have a quick recovery.
Specter517
The majority of cancer posts seem to be of the persons looks. Cancer is far more serious and has no room for vanity. I wish you both well.
Euphio
Thanks, dude. I'm not trying to shit on anyone but I feel like OP is shitting on people who aren't faking or exploiting their illness.
Euphio
There are plenty of ways to make posts that will get that for you. I just think Imgur deserves better than a (shady at best) attempt at (3)
Euphio
point whoring. If you have cancer that sucks. But going through it with someone, I can say this is weird as fuck and I don't believe you.(4)
TheHappyCanadian
glad your boyfriend's okay, that's nut

Haha! He's had an amazing sense of humor about it, says he looks at it as the "sac is half full." Thanks, duderino.

Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
Shoot ,you're giving them more credit than I am by believing that these pics are actually even them.
Euphio
That's a good point. It would be even sadder if it was a totally healthy random stranger.
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
I really feel like it IS some random stranger. All the signs are there. The largest of which is their lack of rebuttal to doubting comments.
badatskunks
Exactly. I want to see OP holding up a sign with her current hairstyle and today's date and her username. Then I'll stop doubting.
