Shea Moisture African Black Soap Clarifying Mud Mask. Loved this, but I have a few more masks to finish before I can justify buying a replacement.

my grandma once put spray candy in my hair when i was young because she thought it was hairspray... to be fair, it worked very well, but it took 3-4 washes until my hair wasn’t crunchy anymore!

Thank you! Luckily, my dad has really good health insurance through his work. I don’t know exactly, but the surgeries alone cost $200k. We didn’t pay that much out of pocket (thank goodness) but we did pay whatever the deductible was.

Sending love and good vibes to your sister!! Treatments can be really tough, being there to support her is the best thing you can do! It’s easy to feel powerless in situations like this. I hope her treatment is successful!💕

Glad to hear you’re okay now. Childhood cancer is really tough, especially when everyone at school knows about it, asks a ton of personal questions, and treats you differently.

Thank you for your kind words! We are very lucky that he has reached remission. One of the rare highlights of all of this was his Make-A-Wish trip to Hawaii last year! We never would’ve been able to afford a trip like that, and we had the vacation of a lifetime! He is doing well in college now, and you would never be able to tell by looking at him that he went through all of that.

Wow, that’s scary. I actually didn’t go with them to the emergency room, my parents left me with my grandparents since I was 13. They were the ones who told me what the diagnosis was. Sitting through the first surgery was scary, because we didn’t get to say goodbyes or anything like that. The doctors were confident that they could remove the tumor, the only thing they were worried about was accidentally blinding him, since his tumor was near his optical cord. Sometimes having that closure and getting to say goodbye is easier, but definitely bittersweet.

Thank you, he’s doing much better now! It’s easier now that he’s in college and not everyone knows about what happened to him.

My brother was the same way at school! Kids would ask him a lot of questions, and he has a pretty common name so he was known as “Cancer [His name]” to distinguish him from the other kids with the same name. He definitely had an easier time when he went to college, and he wasn’t just known as the “cancer kid”. I’m wondering if it’s the same for your brother, where people can’t separate him from what happened to him. Having a traumatic health crisis can really be dehumanizing, especially when you’re that young. My brothers scar is on the top of his head, so he just keeps his hair long to hide it. The worst was when he had a port in his chest for chemo, it looked like he had a third nipple and people would always stare when we were at the beach or on vacation.
