I have chronic kidney disease, got a transplant about a year ago. Now they think I might have a post transplant cancer from it. They want me to get my brain biopsied in a few days and I’m terrified. The area is deep in my brain so it’s considered “risky”

Where one of the lesions in my brain is too has messed with the my weight and caused me to gain a crap ton, the brain biopsy is gonna require them to shave part of my head. I already don’t recognize myself in the mirror anymore. I don’t even want to start thinking about the possibility of chemo.

I’m hoping everything turns out okay for you both with the procedure and the results 🫶 I know hair can be part of your identity and it can be scary to shave it or lose it but I know you can get through this and wigs, hats, etc are always an option
