A shallow beautiful woman, and moreFrom Tanya: I found the BWS story about Allison Here's another BWS story you can have for your website: Last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I continued to work while doing chemotherapy, which means I went to work wearing scarves and hats to hide my newly bald state. The office BWSer, Tammy, told me she was sorry I had to do chemo and lose my hair. Tammy said she didn't think she could handle being bald. I told her, "You might be surprised what you can handle when you have to." I then explained that doing chemo greatly improved my chances of having a long life with no recurrence of cancer. Tammy thought about this for a moment. "No," she said, "I still don't think I would do chemo." I was stunned by her comment. I asked her, "Are you saying you wouldn't do chemo, just because you would not want to lose your hair?" Tammy replied, "Yeah, I think I'd rather take my chances with cancer than lose my hair." So, apparently, for a BWSer, going bald is worse than cancer!
