To Garland, My mohawk did not have any medical effect on my cancer, which was aniplactic astocytoma stage 3 brain cancer, but it did give me humor and help to think positive to fight it. I was in the treatment of chemo and radiation when I started to lose my hair on my left side of my head when I came up with the idea to have some fun with my battle. So I went to hair cutters and told the girl to mohawk mt hair. Well she new what I was going through and she cut my hair and she says you want to have a little more fun and I said sure. She then gets some hair color and made it red, green, orange, blue and yellow. Well my wife and I liked so much we went to a beauty store and got the dye and the colors in which my wife did my hair about every month and a half. You could not believe the response I got from people when I went to stores shopping. Some were good and a few people were just rudd. But I would just reply to there remarks about my situation and I would just imparis them when I would ask them if they knew what astocytome stage 3 was and they would just run out of the store. I know do it every year on my aniversery just to show that I am still fighting it. SO if you are going through the same think and want to bust your moral try it. If you want to see the pictures email me and I will try to send them. I hope this answers your question. I was givien 6 to 12 months to live and I just celibrated my 3rd year. Never give up hope. Thank you for your time ed from bullhead, arizona.
