Chronicles of a #FutureCancerSurvivor "Cancer Means No Hair, Don't Care"
“I shaved all my hair off before chemo could take it from me.” ~ Denise Albert, The MOMS #FutureCancerSurvivor
For the first time in my life, I don’t have hair issues. When I was a teenager I hated my 1980s thick, long, curly pouf. All I wanted was straight hair. In college, I spent at least an hour a day dealing with my hair and learning every trick in the book to get it straight. I finally did – but it was hard work and God forbid if it was humid.
I’ll never forget the time I went backpacking in Europe after college. I was staying in youth hostels blowing my hair in the stairwell because our rooms didn’t have outlets. When going on vacation to warm climates, my hair was always on my mind and a topic of conversation. Brown, dark blonde, wavy, beachy, ironed straight, keratin-treated – I’d gotten so sick of dealing with my hair.
Then the unimaginable happened. My hair started to thin out, mostly in the back. Was it having kids, or was it stress and divorce? I would have done anything to get all of my hair problems back. Extensions became my new best friend – though they came with their own drama. When I mentioned this to a friend of mine, she recommended that I tried products like full spectrum hemp to try and strengthen my hair. This wasn’t something I was familiar with, but I was willing to do anything to get my hair back. I’ve also been told to take a look at stress-reducing treatments like medical marijuana where washington dc marijuana delivery is available for those who are having a hard time leaving their house. These types of deliveries, I’ve been told, are in quite a lot of places so that bodes well for people like me and other sufferers.

Chronicles Of A #FutureCancer Survivor "Why I Booked A "Chemo-Moon"
“Before treatment started, I wanted to pack in as much fun as possible.” ~Denise Albert, The MOMS, #FutureCancerSurvivor #ThisIsChemo
In many ways, the build up to chemotherapy compares to giving birth. I wanted to get everything done beforehand. So instead of a baby-moon, I planned a couple “chemo-moons” – the trips before life would change.
My lumpectomy was scheduled for January 23. I wanted to plan the surgery around trips I had planned with my kids. My boys were supposed to be ball boys at The NBA All-Star Game in Toronto the weekend of February 13, and I wasn’t going to miss it.
Luckily, chemo doesn’t start until 4-6 weeks after surgery. I had even more time to play with since my kids were off from school the whole week after the All-Star Game. Why not plan another trip?

How I'm Surviving Cancer
“For now, I’ll continue to live as I always do. With some little bumps in the road.?” ~ Denise Albert, The MOMS #FutureCancerSurvivor
Denise Albert did everything you’re supposed to do. Her routine mammograms at ages 35 and 40 were clear, as was one last August. “I’ve been careful. I don’t have any family history,” says Albert, co-founder of The MOMS. But she received a notification letter last fall about having dense breast tissue. Then in November, she felt a lump in one breast which hurt – a lot. A December ultrasound and biopsy revealed that she tested positive for early stage breast cancer. Because she’s been open about divorce, parenting, dating, and much of her life, Albert decided to share her journey through treatment.
Since I first shared my story, I have been inundated with calls, texts, emails and messages from friends and strangers. Some are asking me questions like “if other family members have been diagnosed with cancer, do I need critical illness insurance?” or “How long does the treatment take?” and I have done my best to answer them as honestly as possible. But most people are saying how brave I am. In this moment I didn’t feel so brave. Then I re-read some of the emails. Read more
