Marie, I think you are a strong and beautiful lady, and I am very glad you got your cancer treated and are having plastic surgery on your cheek. Don`t worry about the hair, many beautiful women have short hair or are even bald becuse they have alopecia, and they have people and guys that love them and believe they are beautiful! Hair is the least important thing right now for you, you have to take care of your health, just do what the medical experts tell you, and you are in my prayers and sure many others who read this!
Love to you and best of luck!
