Shannon And Claires cuts for Shania

After the devastating news that shania had this disease called Neur-o-blast-o-ma a childhood cancer of the nervous system, something that we had never heard of before. The doctors told us that they would have to operate to remove the tumour that was attached to the inside of shania's skull, which was putting pressure on one of the main arteries in her brain. This was going to be a very delicate and dangerous surgery for shania. After Karen and I regrouped ourselves from the "every parents worst nightmare news", the doctor , Karen and I told Shania about the operation that she would have to undertake. The very first question that she asked was will they have to cut my hair? And when we told her yes , this was Shania's most devastating news, they where going to have to shave her head. She was so upset that they would have to cut her long beautiful brown hair! The surgeon realizing what her hair meant to her, said that they would try not to shave her head , but that there was no guarantees. After the operation, which seemed like an eternity for Karen and I. Shania was so happy to wake up and find that they didn't indeed end up having to shave her hair off after all !!!!
