When I got diagnosed I told myself that I wasn’t going to “let myself go”. I would shave, wear decent clothes (sorry folks no pajamas in public) and basically stay well groomed. Maybe its old fashion, but I always thought players should dress up on game day — you play how you feel.
I’m due for a haircut. I had to cancel my hair appointment this week because I was seeing the doctor. In all likelihood I will have chemo and lose my hair, in the meantime, should I just let it grow or do I get it cut? I’m sure I’ll get it cut but just a little decision that comes with the territory.

Let it go, and grow a beard, too!

Cut it.
You’ll feel like yourself.
Perhaps after all the therapy you’ll let your hair grow long or grow a beard or both!
BTW – I loved the book – Boys in the Boat. The audio version is captivating.

Let it grow.. Let it grow.. Don’t hold back anymore. I’ve been thinking about you a lot and your heavy in my heart and prayers. My Dad is also praying for you (he’s a professional and really good at it) I love being able to follow your journey with this blog. Stay strong my friend. Oh… and keep that hair going as long as possible. How else would we tell the difference between you, Peschong and Rexroad?

Tom I posted earlier. I forgot something that I wanted to mention to you. You might want to ask your radiation oncologist Proton Theerapy instead of radiation. I’ve had two friends with cancer who went through Proton therapy rather than chemo and radiation. Here is a link you might find helpful:http://www.proton-therapy.org/howit.htm
