Better Off Bald: Episode 16 — Days 41 – 44

Written By Andrea Wilson Woods

I will be reborn. I will fight this, pills and all, and it will not kill me. I will be drop-dead gorgeous—even if I don’t have hair. I will help people who have to go through this. I will be amazing and impossible to avoid. ALL OF THIS SHIT IS TEMPORARY, PAIN IS NOT REAL, CANCER DOES NOT SURVIVE IN ME.

Better Off Bald chronicles my sister Adrienne’s 147-day battle with liver cancer; the book also shows how I reared Adrienne from the time she was eight until she died at the age of fifteen. For more information about primary liver cancer, go to Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association.
