Thanks Moondawg and sue.
When I first found out, I was so proud of their proactive attitude, and their decision to fight the monster, but I was recently moved to California, and felt powerless.  My friend was due with her second baby, and she was due, basically, on her father's 'expiration date.'  I was broke, so I asked her if it would be appropriate to donate my hair, really long at the time, to Locks of Love.  They said yes, and I shaved my head!!  It was my way of letting her know how strongly I stood behind her.  He lived 7 months past his prognosis, and I think it literally just reared up and overtook him.  He wasn't frail of weak for an extended period like many with cancer are.  A month ago, I wouldn't have expected this.
