I Am Going To Be Bald

Bethany Cammell Avatar

Yes, you heard right πŸ˜‚

Today, the doctors had a meeting to look at my PET scan and biopsy results.

The good news is, there is no other problems in my body other then the tumour 😊
Thank you God πŸ’•

Tomorrow, I will hopefully be getting surgery to put a port in my chest for chemotherapy. Then on Monday or Tuesday, I will start the chemo.

As for what the tumour is, it is an osteosarcoma.

After two to three weeks of chemo, I will lose my hair. I have no idea what that’s going to look like, but I guess I’m going to find out xD

The chemo lasts for nine months in total (hooray, I get to be bald for more than half a year πŸ˜‹). Eleven weeks into the chemo, I will be having surgery to remove as much of the tumour as the surgeons can.

I had a good cry this afternoon, but the nurses are lovely and Daddy gave me much love and support, and so did Mummy over video call 😊

I’d love prayer for minimal effects of the chemo, and that the surgery tomorrow and the one later down the track goes smoothly and without a hitch πŸ’•

Oh, and one more thing. Since my hair is so long, I’m hoping to have it cut and made into a wig for someone who needs it ❀️ (I myself would rather not have a wig even when I’m bald. I’m planning on flower crowns and other similar things 🌸)
