There is probably a reason that no one really tells you how long all the cancer treatment will take.
For me it was almost a year: two surgeries over two months, almost five months of chemo, two months of radiation and then my hair started growing back.
The photo below is of Chris and me heading to a wedding about five days after radiation ended.

I got dressed up, I felt good and I had enough hair to not wear a wig. I literally thought for the first time in nearly a year, “Maybe, just maybe, I will be okay.” After the wedding, one of the grooms said, “You look stunning” to me as he ushered me out of the aisle. It made my day.
A few weeks later, I was asked by the American Cancer Society to provide a line of copy for their donor wall at the Hope Lodge because we had made a small gift. We were given just 20 characters of space, so I filled it out. I started with my name: Sarah Corkery.
I got up to scan it in to send it back to them, and I thought, that’s not complete. So I wrote a little more…you'll have to scroll to see it.

Today I rocked a little tiny faux hawk hairstyle--and only one person thought it was on accident.
I had comments that I looked feisty, fierce and that my hair rocks! I’ll take it.
Today I think I'll make it.
