I'm going to be shorn

After reading info at the breast cancer website and the American cancer association site, I have decided to get my hair cut really short next week. They recommend getting your hair cut short before surgery and before chemo while you are still feeling relatively well so that you can start getting used to seeing yourself with short hair while you still feel pretty good. That way it makes loosing your hair easier and when it begins to grow back in, you feel more like yourself sooner rather than having to wait months for your hair to get long again.

That seemed to make sense to me. Besides, since everyone tells me I look like Jamie Lee Curtis, I already pretty much know what I will look like with short hair!! =)

<-- Jamie Lee Curtis

Hi Cuz,

I don't even know what to say except that I am praying for you and in about 15 minutes I'll be e-mailing every prayer warrior I know. You are amazing and strong and most importantly you love God. I truly believe that God is going to intervene in a mighty way (just like when you had gallbladder surgery). I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! Please know that I am praying, praying, praying for you all.

Love,

Lulu

It is quite freeing to have really, really short hair. You might get hooked.

I believe what you meant was, Jamie Lee Curtis has been told that she looks like you.

Dear Leslyn: I believe we met a few years back at a Church on the Way conference headed by Cindy!
I am now pastoring Leaves of Healing Tabernacle in Northridge,
Ca, www.LOHTabernacle.com. Visit anytime! Our services are Tues & Fridays (main service) 7:15pm.
Father, praise to Your Name for this daughter of Zion! She is Your beloved and You have promised that no plagues of Egypt would touch the lives of Your beloved ones! Cancer is not welcome in Leslyn's body, as it has entered illegally and had no legal or valid right to touch the body of this woman of God! I command the spirit of cancer to depart from Leslyn's body in the most powerful name of Jesus and I ask, dear Lord, that You would show Your greatness to Leslyn, family and friends in the mightiest way in Jesus Name, Amen! Love in Him,
Lorraine D. Coconato

HI Leslyn, you might have already seen Dion's blog for Valerie when she went thru her breast cancer issues. If not check it out on www.beckhome.blogspot.com
She has pictures of when she cut her hair and her wigs.
I think you will look beautiful with short or no hair. I am thinking of shaving my head,Valerie said it is soooo cool and she liked it. I don't think Marty would be ok with a shaved head, but maybe short hair???
I am praying for you and you are in my thoughts always. I love you!!!
