I may be the minority here, but I think she looks way better WITHOUT hair. No hair really brings out her eyes more.

And how anyone can say anything negative about Robin is beyond me. I met her once late last spring right before the cancer news broke, and let me tell you, she’s the sweetest person and is always smiling, even off camera.

Robin is beautiful bald.. I admire her for being strong and making people aware that cancer is not a “poor person’s disease” anyone can get it. My husband was diagnosed with cancer 1 year ago and he is 23 years old. I watched him go from 220lbs down to 178lbs because of chemo. I watched his facial, body and head hair all fall out and the worse part for me was anything else that happens I can help him with it, I can ease the burden but chemo is something you have to go through alone. No one can ease that for you.
And @ FLY you are ignorant and I hope for your sake that you nor no one in your family ever gets cancer because it is mentally, physically and emotionally draining and anyone that lives to tell their story is “hope” for everyone else going through it.

Robins beauty shines from the inside out. Losing her hair did not diminish her true beauty. Stay strong my sister. You are loved.

Robin, i’m not one to blow smoke, so i’m here say if you wish to wear a wig , wear it, but you really don’t have to because you look very very nice without one. If their is any thing that i know , it is a good looking women, and you are a very , very good looking woman, hair or no hair. Good luck to you and ‘m praying for you.

wow that’s very brave….. she BEAUTIFUL with or w/o hair….. I hope she beats this…. STAY STRONG!

Wish her the best. She looks good still. Actually cuter.

sHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL, THOUGH…

I KNOW IT’S BEEN SAID TO BE OUR CROWN AND GLORY, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’S JUST HAIR. IT’S THE STRUCTURE OF THE FACE AND OUR PERSONAL FEATURES THAT MAKES US BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE. ROBIN IS SO BEAUTIFUL, SHE DIDN’T EVEN EVER NEED HAIR. I REMEMBER A WHILE BACK, I GREATLY DAMAGED MY HAIR WITH PHOTO SHOOTS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT, AND SO I WENT TO MY STYLIST AND HE CUT MY HAIR, AND HE TOLD ME, DON’T WORRY, YOU DON’T EVEN NEED HAIR AS PRETTY AS YOU ARE…AND HE WAS RIGHT…I NEVER LOOKED MORE BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE, AND TRUE TO MYSELF THAN AT THAT TIME. HONESTLY, ALL WOMEN CANNOT GET AWAY WITH THIS, JUST TELLING THE TRUTH, BUT ROBIN, YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WOMEN……WHEN YOUR HAIR GROW BACK IN, JUST ICING ON THE CAKE.

WHEN YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE, HAIR IS THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES. AND LATER ROBIN, IF YOU WANT, YOUR HAIR WILL GROW BACK IN ALL THICK AND HEALTHY. YOU’RE GOOD GIRL, DON’T WORRY ABOUT NOTHING BUT GETTING HEALTHY.

STILL PRAYING FOR YOU.

Robin in a hero!

May GOD be with you, sister.

oops, ROBIN IS A HERO!

My prayers goes out to her. She’s a beautiful sister with or without hair. I love bald women. It’s natural and very beautiful.

Shucks, she’s still pretty WITHOUT her hair! Rock that bald look, girlfriend!

Robin is absolutely beautiful with/without hair. Even though she rocked the baldie, she needs to go with whatever makes her comfortable. Shout out to #42. When I was going through chemotherapy and lost my hair while in the hospital, all they had available were blond and red wigs. Black women in the struggle would truly appreciate an acceptable option. Attitude is everything, so I know Robin will reign victoriously. God bless her!

NOTE TO ALL: AT THE LEAST, GET AN ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAM. GET SCREENINGS. FOLLOW UP - BE YOUR OWN HEALTH ADVOCATE–NO ONE ELSE WILL DO IT FOR YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU with optimal health.

Robin,

You are a beautiful black woman.

Hi Robin,

I wish you all the best as go through this. I am a breast cancer survivor, professional librarian, mother and grandmother. I’ve had to have chemo therapy 3 times since my diagnosis in 2001 which was about 3.5 months before 9/11. Initially I had a mastectomy and radiation once. I am a survivor of 7 years. Not that it’s really relevant to anything but I’m an African-American (don’t know why but I thought I should say that probably because of the reports that we do not survive as long as other racial groups do with this disease).

I know what you are going through and I am so glad that you are sharing it with others plus continuing to work. Lots of folks do not understand that a diagnosis of cancer does not necessarily mean that a person’s quality of life has to go all the way down hill. It is possible to go through the chemo treatments while still living a relatively normal life. Your experience exemplifies for everyone that cancer survivors are not the “walking dead.” We can and do live productive and fun lives while coping with this chronic disease.

God Bless you!
