But, I made a girl at work tear up, being fore-warned my dad refuses to look at the pictures and Brigitte wouldn't even comment or barely talk to me about it. Yep, everyone thinks I look like a corpse in the picture. Maybe because it's in a large sterile looking room, or that I have a hospital gown on, or the fact that my face is covered up, or that I am laying on a flat table. Not sure which of those contribute most to my corpse look a like but I guess I can kind of see why no one liked the picture. Remember I said I was smiling, doesn't that count for anything to help the situation?? :)
Ok so to redeem myself from the last post and to help push that post down a little further on the page, I decided to take a picture of myself so you can all see how much my hair has grown in. I made it stand up so you can see the length. I wore it like this all day Saturday out shopping. Shane thinks my hair is in the 'in-between' stage that people are going to look at me and think 'Did she have cancer or does she like her hair cut that way?'
Radiation is still going well, only 3 more to go. I have a little bump in my throat but it's pretty minimal and just a mere inconvenience at this point. I have been getting a little more tired but all in all still feel pretty good. No hair loss yet...
Once again, sorry if I freaked out my readers. I hope I didn't scare you away. I promise not to post any more freaky pictures. Please keep reading and commenting.

I wish you all the best. Stay strong! Never give up.
Only so many women can pull off this trendy short hair... girl you are one of them... great shape head, nice thin face and beautiful eyes... I guess your hair may not be your best feature afterall! You are fabulous.
lots of love! And hooray for almost being done with radiation!
No need to apologize Sheri. I think it's pretty amazing you take it all in such a non-chalant way. I'd feel claustrophobic under that thing, but whatever gets you healthy!
Sis Gould!
This is Liz Mann. Rebecca (Mahon) sent me the link to your blog page, I hope you don't mind. Its so neat to see you again! Its amazing to read your recent triumphs! Keep the shining girl - I see nothing has changed! I am currently in Sacramento still with my family I travelled a bit to Hawaii and attended BYU-H before returning to NZ because I was a little homesick for downunder. I then moved here and settled here in 2000. My prayers are with you and your family.
Arohanui,
Liz :)
I love your hair... and I think it's funny that you posted an apology! Ha ha!
you are so funny to apologize. okay, it was a little scary but mostly just interesting. I am loving how long your hair is! you are so close! Hooray for the last week!
Sheri, no need to apologize. You're just being honest and "keepin' it real"! Glad you're feeling okay. Keep that smile shining brightly!
I wasn't overly freaked out but educated if anything. I had NO IDEA that was what it looked like!
You look great, Sheri. Even my little Avery thinks so. I was holding her while reading your blog and she was smiling and cooing at your picture. :) I'm glad radiation is almost over. You are so brave and have handled all that you are going through so well. Thanks for updating and sharing such a personal experience.
First, I love your hair!
Second, I'm glad it isn't gray.
Third, even though those pictures freaked me out I'm still glad you posted them. You will want to remember that.
