A grandmother in San Jose, California, who is a big San Francisco Giants fan, came up with an unusual way to get “hair” for herself after losing her natural hair to chemo.
71 year-old Rosemary Capitolo, an avid knitter, came up with the idea of knitting herself some orange hair when her favorite baseball team played in the World Series last month. She combined it with a Giants baseball cap, put on sunglasses ready to leave the house, and took a picture of herself which she posted online. Her granddaughter then tweeted it and it has since caught the attention of more than 75,000 viewers:
“I think what people are picking up on is an attitude,” said Capitolo in published news reports. “An attitude that you can keep living with cancer. You do what the doctors tell you and then wake up each day, love your family and live.”
Rosemary came up with a very unique solution for herself. No matter what the reason is, it is never easy seeing your hair go away and finding more and more of it on your pillow or in your shower drain. But since not everyone has the knitting skills that Rosemary has, New England Associates® can help.
