Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 No should say they are crazy on this board. I really think the medical profession tries to downplay everything. I alway said that if a man had to get a mammo- different machines would have been invented. Anyway everyone says that I am going " European " for not shaving and my huusband suggested that if it gets long enoughh to braid it. I am fair skin and my natural hair color is a very light brownish-blonde. Anyway- this is the one time I am glad it is winter(I live in NY -Long Island) ((((Hugs)))) Eileen > > >At least I know I am not crazy.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I finished my 8th rad. yesterday and I really don't like the fact that I can't shave under my arm or use a deoderant on one side. Thank heavens for cold weather( I live in Central California) I know that it is not as cold as some places. I am Italian also so I don't have the light hair that will not show as much. ne > > > > >At least I know I am not crazy. Today I am on my 7th rad. treatment, > > the last two have seemed fine.
