AFTER my first chemo, it took only a little over two weeks for the hair to disappear completely from the top of my head. My brother was unkind enough to say, as we FaceTimed, Black men look cool bald, but white men look like some giant’s thumb. I am no exception. I look like a boiled egg that’s been sitting around in the pot long after the water has dried up. Someone has peeled that egg, but not very well.
