About these photos
At the end of 2013 we learned my wife has ovarian cancer. Her first round of chemotherapy began early February 2014 and over preceding weeks she began losing her hair. Finally fed up with her hair coming out when she brush it or wash it, Dana decided to just "take it off." The following photos I made to catalog the experience for her and our boys.

Dana asked the boys if they wanted to help her cut her hair. RJ was all for helping out.
