“Never in my entire life did I imagine that I’d be okay with being bald”

Shayma, once terrified of needles, is now facing her third round of chemo. Her cancer journey has been tough—losing her hair and dealing with brutal side effects. But through it all, she’s found a strength she never knew she had.

The diagnosis hit her hard, especially since it came on her 30th birthday—a day she’d been excitedly counting down to. In a moment, everything changed. Her plans, her priorities, her entire outlook. But instead of sinking into despair, she chose to see it as a wake-up call—a reminder to appreciate her health and the many blessings in her life.
