1) People tell you that you look good bald.
2) The first time you wear a shirt and tie to the office in 3 months causes people to say "Wow! You look good!"
3) Good food shows up at your house - and you don't have to shop for it or make it. Then, dishes are cleaned and put away after that.
4) Rockette look alikes show up unannounced at chemo treatments.
5) Doctors and Nurses start consulting you about your weight loss plan.
6) No matter how odd the hat you are wearing that day looks, you develop an attitude of "so what" along with a little bit of confidence.
7) The day the hiccup side effects leave (the 3rd day after chemo). However, hiccups are better than what the medicine that causes them is intended to prevent
8) You learn that being called, "One of our more unique chemo patients," is not an insult.
9) You feel a little bit of power when your oncologist starts referring to the lymph mass as "the alien."
10) Watching the surprise in people's faces when you tell them that chemo treatment day is your favorite day on the calendar.

First! And you do look good bald. You have a very well shaped head. I, on the other hand, have a block shaped head. So I've got that much in common with ole Charlie Brown....
I, too, am envious of your ability to look good bald. I really like the concept, but have a huge fear that under all my hair my head looks like an osage orange!
UM/Rutgers game is 2/15 if that is the weekend you are thinking of wandering north.
