Debra, that is wonderful news! It's wonderful to know what all the Lord is doing for so many cuties! I have heard that after Chemo, your hair sometimes does grow back curly. Congrats!... Terre

Debra, I have been waiting all day on pins and needles - to hear how your doctor visit went - then I slipped away to the store and you posted this - I am so thrilled for you dear - the Lord's hand was surely involved in this - as I know that He guided you to us, too.

Oh, thank you! I know you understand how it can be waiting to find out how the tests went. I never really had much doubt, if I needed more surgery and chemo I was fine with doing it again. I have faith. My parents were worried the most. No parent wants to lose a child.

Had natural curls before but it is twice as curly now and wasn't anywhere near this gray either. I am debating if I want to color it or leave it natural now. I am 56 and have much more gray than my Mom!

That is such fantastic news Debra. I am so thrilled for you and can imagine how relieved your whole family is.

My best friend's hair grew back curly (it was a little bit before chemo anyway) and she looks wonderful.

Praise God for all his tender mercies. Love and blessings Chris

Thank you. My hair went curly at age 12, just happened suddenly but my Dad also has curls but this is more than twice the curls! It's only an inch long and the curls are tight.

What a wonderful day for you this must be! My husband and I are both cancer survivors so I can understand what you have been going thru. My friend's hair grew back WHITE and totally CURLY and she never had either.There is a guardian angel watching over you! Carol

Yes, we are happy, just talked to my Mom and she said her and my Dad are so hapy! They worried more than we did. My hair has much more white in it than it did pre chemo, I would have rather it had all gone white. My cousin who is only a year older than me has had white hair since she was about 35!

Debra that is FABULOUS news!!! Congratulations!!! Celebrate!
My opinion re your hair...Let it be natural there is NOTHING wrong with that! :) (ESPECIALLY if that feels good to you!!! How it feels to you is all that matters too!)
Hope that wasn't rude of me to give my opinion on your hair!
