Two men take a mirror selfie in a bathroom as one shaves the other's head. The man in the foreground is holding the phone and smiling, while the man in the background is being shaved and looking at the camera with a wide smile.

Yesterday was one of those days I know I’ll never forget. I decided to shave my head because I didn’t want to wait for chemo to take my hair from me. My brother shaved his head too, and all my friends came to be there with me. It was emotional and scary, but having all of them by my side made such a huge difference. They turned a moment I was dreading into something I’ll always remember with a lot of love. My hair will grow back, the sun will shine again, and this will all be behind me someday. Fuck cancer.
