I Lost All My Hair to Chemotherapy

- On Dec 21, 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer & began chemotherapy. This is my hair loss journey (from 20 inches long to fully bald). Click here cen.yt/functioneamonbec6 and subscribe to get 20% off your first custom 16oz set + free shipping!
The hardest words I've heard lately have been "you have breast cancer" but this was followed closely by "you will lose your hair." For as long as I can remember I have had long, healthy hair, and as I learned on this hair loss journey... this was a big part of my identity. But what scared me more about losing all my hair to chemotherapy was that once I was bald I would be easily identified as a cancer patient. Knowing that anyone could quickly see what I was going through and feel 'sorry for me' or 'sad for me' scared me even more.
This story begins with cutting 16 inches off my hair to hopefully make a wig from my own hair. I then share a beautiful wig we've gotten to help me through those moments where I just want to feel a little 'normal' again. And last I share the troubling moments of hair shedding to the moment when we decide to shave my head.
A big thanks to Follea for making beautiful wigs that look and feel just like human hair.

Can we all just appreciate how amazing of a partner that Eamon is? And of course Bec incredibly strong for sharing all of the raw emotions so publicly. Much Love and Aloha to the both of you.
Eamon demonstrates what love and support should look like
Truly what love 💕 looks like. Inspirational to say the very least. @EamonandBec The strength you are showing by sharing this extremely personal experience brings me to tears. Breast cancer has affected both sides of my family. I lost two Aunts one on my Mother and my Father’s side as well. I myself had a lump removed by needle biopsy at age eleven.Bec you are one fierce warrior!! You’re hair doesn’t define who you are as a person. You are such an amazing, beautiful woman. And you will always be. You’re not that way because you have long dark hair. A unwavering strength and zest for life has gotten you through (with a amazing partner!) You got this one!! You will conquer, this to shall pass. Praying for you both 😇
Hang in there you two, we are with you and god bless.
For all you've been through with saving your eggs to one day have your precious children to now going through chemo therapy, getting so so sick and now cutting your gorgeous hair to now losing it. Wow so...much you're having to go through and now shaving your head, you are a real champion my dear girl. And Eamon, come on now...what a champ he is as well. He always knows exactly what to say to you at your worst moments and he knows exactly when you need him. I just want to send God's strength, comfort and His never ending love to you both. I know God's the one who got me through the worst hours, days, months and years after losing my 17yr old son Anthony in 1997 and then losing my other son Marcus in 2019. You are one in a million my dear having to go through all this physical, emotional and mental agony. I just really thank God Eamon is there with you and "for" you. You look absolutely fantastic with hair and no hair but what really matters is how you feel. So may God just send many blessings your way throughout your journey. Love you both, from Washington state ❤🌻🌺🌼🌸💐⚘
Tu es très belle inside and out !
my mom doesn’t even know who you guys are and saw me watching and said “that woman looks amazing with shaved hair” ❤️❤️ you’re so beautiful bec
Eamon is the partner everyone needs in their life. The way he showed so much love to Bec through her journey is so heart touching. What an awesome guy
I’m terminally ill from cancer on my lungs and adrenal gland. Having had a cancerous kidney removed last year they’ve given me 12 months to live. I’m now on a trial drug which is applied like chemo but without the side effects. My specialist rang me up yesterday and told me on my last scan that the tumours on my lungs have reduced significantly which I’m pleased about. It’s not a cure so when it stops working it will take over or then again it could be a miraculous cure. I don’t know. The hardest thing will be leaving my wife of 37 years and my six children. My point being is that day to day is an emotional journey. One day positive the next pretty negative. I was so shocked to hear of your condition and wish you so much love and healing. Take care Becks your videos have brought me so much joy and given me traveling abilities even though I couldn’t go you and Eamon went and took me places I can’t visit due to my health. Lots of love and healing, keep positive as this will bring healing. Peace and love ❤️
David Eagles I've have health issues.. when I start feeling I'm getting stronger the problems reoccur but I never give up.. Its weird to except death though, as a possibility.. Anyways take care...
@@Iamllumash as much as some don’t want to face it, sometimes death is part of life. Everyone will have to face it at some point.
I hope you’re feeling well and better now ❤
I was an oncology nurse for 30+ years. This is the most honest and on the spot representation of what happens with hair loss. You emotions are so normal. Our hair is such a part of our identity, and losing that is so painful. You are gorgeous with and without hair. I always told women that most women are more beautiful bald because then the focus is on your eyes, not your hair. I wish I was still working, I would refer women to your episode.
“You don’t need hair for love” 😭so sweet to have someone supportive and loving along your side on this journey! Such a blessing! Your a women of strength Bec! Much love!
EAMON is such a sweetie guys
what every woman wants in life
“She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.” You are in our prays, Bec. Numbers 6:24-26
How beautiful and appropriate.
I have never heard that before,but I did write it down and I will have a plaque made with that saying. Thank You for sharing.
I didn’t have cancer but I lost a ton of hair after traumatic life event and seeing the clumps of hair coming out in the shower was just hard for me so I feel for you Bec!! You’re beautiful inside and out with hair or without! 🥰
Stunning with long hair. Stunning with a fringe. Stunning with a bob. Stunning with a shaved head. You're beautiful inside and outside all the time. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
You look AMAZING!!!!💪❤💕
You are awesome. My mom had breast 🎀 cancer. You are beautiful and Eamon is a powerful supporter. Love you two.
I was watching holding back tears until “I wore it because it’s Lee’s sweater and I wanted to feel strong” I totally broke down. What a beautiful moment. You are so strong pretty girl! Love you❤️
My fiancé is about to start chemo. I’m very scared. I will be as supporting her through this. The emotional toll has been tremendous. Thank you for the videos.
Sending you both lots of positive thoughts for healing as you journey through chemo! Your strength and support will be so important! You got this! 🤗🤗🤗
Let’s just take a moment and look at Bec, she’s so beautiful and brave! And Eamon he’s an amazing partner, Bec is so lucky to have a kind and caring partner! We wish you all the love!🫶🏻
Eamon said “even though you won’t have hair it’ll always grow back” with the little head planter, that’s the sweetest thing ever 😭😭 you guys are so strong and incredible
Such a perfect, giving gift.
When my son was little he had cancer, and we had fun finding crazy hats. His fave had a propeller in top. Reasons to laugh and cry and just feel made life worth holding on to. He's 36 now 😊
🥰
So happy for you. You are blessed
More than ten years ago I was told to go home and get my affairs in order. While at some level that was good advice (I still don't have my things in order) I decided what I really needed was a doctor who had a better plan. Believe in yourself guys, this part will suck at times and there can be great joy on the other side. Sending love 💕
Out of all the journey videos so far, I held back tears with her. Bravery isn't fearlessness, it's going through the fear because you have to, and doing it anyway. I'm not going through anything physically, but I've been through mental illnesses. Illness is hard to handle. It's great you're doing this. Your husband is great, reminds me of mine. He genuinely sees you're beautiful, physical and spiritually, I can see it. You are beautiful. Thank you.
The first time I heard Eamon say, “it’s only hair”, I thought he just didn’t get what it means to Bec. But, then I realized he was saying “it’s only hair” because Bec’s hair isn’t Bec. He truly and passionately loves Bec, mind, body and soul. Hair is only the icing on top.
Having an Eamon is the secret ingredient to life. He never lied and everything he says is so genuine. Bec you look awesome and as always an absolute warrior ♥️
So well said!
I agree. Plus, I think Bec is one during woman.
Eamon you are incredible human being. You are the best partner she could have asked for. And Bec.. you DO look so so pretty!!! As women in society we put waaay to much of our worth in looks into our hair as every woman I’ve ever seen shave their head looks just as good, if not better, without hair. It’s a pretty cool thing to realize.
Beck is so strong and Eamon is so supportive. It's so nice to see them tag team this and accept that it's okay to greave
I can't imagine having someone like Eamon during "regular" life, let alone during the hard times. A partner we should all aspire to find and also to be like ❤️
*😢 What's harder😢is loosing that person-trust me😢*
Yes
When my grandmother went through chemo she of course lost all her hair. As she recovered, for some strange reason as her hair grew back her leg hair never returned. I wish that same gift for you as a trophy for making it through this difficult journey.
Leg hair, pubic hair and armpits.. Have to wish for all the annoying parts 😉😁🤞
I Love Eamon he is such a good Partner. Just Amazing how supportive and there he is for her. Bec is mad Strong. Love you guys!
Bec, I think you are so strong and amazing, one of my best friends mom just died of stage four breast cancer and it’s been really hard for me and my family and her family. I remember when she cut her mom’s hair it was very emotional, but a great experience, I love you guys so much! Keep staying strong!❤
Bec is an absolute stunner with everything she does. Long hair, bangs, Bob cut, shaved head, wigs, head scarfs. Everytime a new look comes up I'm like that woman can pull off anything!!
She could model!!
You're beautiful no matter what Bec. It is your amazing personality that shines. Sending so much love 💗
True
Agreed!!💯😁❤️ #davesandersstepdaughter
the light that shines from within her makes her stunning at all times. such a top notch human being
I agree
Came here to say exactly that!
I really love how you two handled the situation. My mom was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer last November 2022. I'm literally about to cry now but I know we'll get through this. Thanks for sharing your story . Hope you inspire more women to fight cancer.
Im on the same boat! My mom was diagnosed last month with stage 2 and just had her first chemo today. Im around if you want to chat. Prayers and healing to your mom!!
@@missaimee8514 Thanks! Any way how to message you?
@@missaimee8514 im in the same boat
“That looks just like me!” I love that you still feel like yourself, and I hope that on this journey you come to realize you look like you and ARE still you regardless of the amount of hair on your head ❤️
I didn’t think it was possible to feel so proud of someone I’ve never met. You are so strong - even if/when you don’t feel like it. Sharing your story, being so vulnerable, is SO strong.
Wishing you healing and love ♥️♥️ I found your videos by chance on Facebook a few weeks ago and had been enjoying your adventures and how amazing you two humans are as a couple and as individuals… last night while catching up on your adventures I saw what you have been going through… and just wanted to send you both love and healing xoxo take care ♥️
Honestly, the moment I saw Bec with a shaved head I thought "Oh my gosh she looks like a model". Keep being strong! You inspire us all. Sending lots of love ❤️
me too !!! ..... and what an awakening.. I used to feel the same about my hair .. then I got old. you're beautiful bec!!
This was a rollercoaster of emotions, sending you lots of love and hope everything is going good! 28:32 You definitely look great bald
Having gone through the same process myself, I am so impressed with how you are carrying yourself and letting yourself feel every emotion! I know it's traumatizing and a big change, but you're on the road to getting better and you're just as beautiful as ever! -Fellow cancer survivor
Breaking down when you wore Lee’s sweater. Can’t think of a stronger person right now then Bec and I can’t think of a more loving and helpful and goofy partner then Eamon. Love you keeping going!
Agreed.
I have been scouring the internet trying to find an update. Even a small one. I think about you guys often & hope you guys are ok!!
I have been too.
Ya I can’t find anything either I’m worried
Me too! She has been on my mind for several days, and I finally came here to see if anyone knew anything. I’m praying 🙏🏼
You poor sweetheart. Going through all of this so soon after Lee's departure. Watching this all I could think of was that it's ok to cry !!! But you DO look amazing ! Kudos to you and Eamon... you guys have all you need to shine through this. Ps. This happened a year ago. I see that you now have the cutest pixie... ❤
Unfortunately society has made having long hair such a definition of beauty that it becomes a crippling thing when something like this happens. You look beautiful like we knew you would.
Eamon, you set a good example for the loving and supportive men who are out here going through the cancer battle with the love of their life. Thanks for what you do, buddy. Keep on rocking.
So much love. What an intens journey thank you for shaing! x
Sending all my love, you both
are amazing! Keep being you guys! ❤️🙏🏽
We need a love button on this channel! The like button isn’t strong enough to show how much you guys are loved.
Yeeesssss I feel the same!
Im so sorry you're going through this Bec. Just know all of us never came here for your hair...it's always been about your personalities, your light, your energy, just the amazing people you guys are. Hair or no hair, both of you are beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing such vulnerable moments
I’m so sorry stay strong babe♥️♥️♥️
Oh Bec, in the words of my 7 year old. “You are stunning inside and out” thank you for sharing your life with us. Your strength and Eamon’s love shine through every episode.
Let’s take a min to appreciate Eamon! He is really amazing! Still praying for you Bec
Praying for your strength, and healing. ❤️
all the love to you both a million times xxxx
Literally all cancer aside, She rocks every hairstyle, hair or no hair. What a rockstar BUDDY :)
I've been following you both for.. my gosh.. YEARS.. years. When Bec announced her diagnosis I felt like I was hearing it from a family member. I truly care about you both so deeply and am sure the rest of your community feels the same. Am looking forward to continuing to support you both on this journey. You guys rock
This! 🧡
Miss you guys wishing positive energy and thoughts to both of you. Love and hugs
Sending love and positivity to you both ❤️ hope your coping well with what has been thrust upon you xx
I know you might think people are just saying "you look so good" to make you feel better...but honestly, you fucking rock this so well!!! You look absolutely stunning. Powerful and badass! You are beautiful inside and out and I just love u guys. - Kristen
💯 right
Perfect said.💖👌
Brilliantly put... xxx
completely agree!!
Totally agree! You look beautiful and your head shape is awesome!
When you asked if Eamon was ok after he shaved your head was so precious to me. The fact you're going through the hardest battle someone can go through and it's still second nature to nurture those around... You're a beautiful soul. 💓
PS: You look SO good bald. To me, you don't look sick. You look fierce and strong and beautiful! But as a hairstylist, I know how much our hair can impact our confidence and your sadness over losing your hair is so valid. I think your wig is absolutely beautiful as well and looks so natural and so you. You are an inspiration!
I completely agree with you Jaime.
Beck, you have always been... and even more then ever ARE awesomely inspiring AND beautiful in every ways.
Respect.
💖💖💖
So so so true!
Thank you for sharing your story. Very courageous x
Thank you for being so real on here and for sharing all of this with us xxx lots of love always
I immediately started bawling when Eamon explained that he picked out that pot to represent that your hair would always grow back. If I don’t have love like that down the road, I don’t want it. 💖 All the best to you both.
You know someone is physically beautiful when they look stunning bald. Your inner beauty is your real super power Bec, but never worry about how you look without hair because you're smashing it. ❤
You ROCK for all of us. Thank you!!
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable - I admire that so much!
If anyone can rock a bald head......it's you! And a shout out to Eamon, Bec is so lucky to have you by her side while she navigates this. Top marks for best support person ever!💞
Hi 👋dear, how are you doing?
Amen
As a girl who has cancer and is almost done with chemotherapy, losing my hair was the easiest part and now I like being bald because I can shower faster 🤣. Chemotherapy is hard but you can do this. You have Eamon and your family to support you. Things get worse before they get better but when your in the worst part you have Eamon and your family to support and care for you. .
Uve got this too and almost there! Well done to u
i love how real you are with your whole journey and experience 💕
Watching your videos for years now!! You are amazing! Lots of love and hugs!
Eamon.... You are what we as men aspire to be in regards to being there for our women.
I don’t really get emotional with people I watch on RUclips, but bec, I was crying right alongside you this whole time. You are so loved and have so many positive vibes coming your way-and you truly look BADASSS and BEAUTIFUL bald! Also, don’t feel like you have to share everything, this seemed really really hard for you and if you need to do things in private and process please do so
I'm thinking of you guys always ❤ I hope youre healing well
Stay strong !!! Thinking of u !!!
I’ve never cried or ever gotten emotional watching RUclipsrs but I feel like I could feel every emotion that Bec felt and was just a ball of tears throughout this video. Hair or no hair you are so absolutely incredible Bec and I commend you for being so strong. I hope and pray that you continue to stay strong throughout this journey. Your followers and RUclips family are all here supporting you ❤️
Me to I still have tears rolling down my face omg!!😩😩😩 She is so strong.❤️
they are sooo wonderful sweet two of them. Yes me too shed tears for them....
I don’t know what made me cry more, the struggle that poor Bec has with coming to terms with the hair loss or the amazing bond and love her and Eamon have. I am so insanely proud of both of them for being so strong and wonderful to each other during this process. You are still so insanely gorgeous, Bec!!
when Bec asked if Eamon was ok while hes shaving her hair off, made me bawl. even in times of such fear and anxiety, shes checking on him. it screams how much they mean to one another.
I am so at LOSS for WORDS……MY GOD watching you losing your HAIR is HARD…..Like You my Hair is part of my identity and I think it is for most women…….You are BEAUTIFUL with hair and even more with No Hair…….You will have hair again & be CANCER FREE…….Watching from Virginia
You two are incredible 🙏🏽 touched my heart.
He is so loving and is taking care of his girl like he should. Specially during this time. Is so hard the process you are going thru but you are a warrior and you will overcome this. 🙏
As my mum would say "he is a good man", in every way. To have a beloved partner going through this must be the hardest thing - he's obviously being stronger than ever for Bec!
Sending you love and prayers , I am thankful you are doing what you need during this time. We are here when you are ready and will be sending so much love your way until then ❤️❤️❤️
You both are so strong!!!
You are beautifull Bec!
Big thanks to Eamon for the genuine empathy and care.
“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.”- CoCo Chanel
I wholeheartedly agree with Eamon that you look so beautiful with a bald head. You literally have the perfect head shape for it and look like a model. I also loved the short bob on you as well. I am happy you are filming the ups and downs of your journey and it seems that you are embarking on a deeper self love journey through this process. You will come out on the other side better for it. I wish you & Eamon health and many blessings to come during and on the other side of this journey. ❤️❤️❤️
You sharing your journey is making me ❤ you.
You two are truly amazing ❤
I realize that the validation from a stranger probably has little to no effect on your self love, but I just wanted to say thank you for being so strong and sharing this really tough journey with all of us. Thousands and thousands of people a year go through this alone and are completely terrified but tell nobody that they are struggling and your bravery and vulnerability are the most beautiful things about you! Also doesn't hurt that you're physically beautiful but that isn't what defines you as a person the same way your character does, and you my beautiful stranger are quite possibly the most gorgeous human being on the internet!
Man, I wish everyone going through illness could have a supportive partner like you, Eamon.
So much courage. Get healthy!
Wishing you all the best on this journey in life. Sending love and good wishes your way 💓
To me seeing a girl who is bald, my first thought isn't that oh she's sick. It's fuck she is strong! I watched my mom go through this same hair loss journey & to see all the shit she went through & what that bald head signifies it definitely goes well beyond just being sick! You're killing it Bec!!
“Okay stop” broke me. We are all crying with you, Bec. You are absolutely stunning! Inside and out. With or without hair. Please feel these big (hugs)) I am sending! ❤️
same
Sending you two my best vibes !! Keep marching !!
Sending all my love and light your way. Take all the time you need, we’re waiting on you whenever you’re ready ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Take care and keep going
I’m fighting depression, not cancer. But I see you fighting Bec, and you inspire me to keep fighting too. Eamon, your love and tender caring for Bec is so beautiful to witness. So grateful to both of you for sharing your journey.
Me too
Sending you both so much love. You're an amazing couple and you're going to get through this. ❤️
This should be a documentary...I've followed both of ur journey...thank u for ur raw and true journey...ur are such a powerful force of nature both of u x
Not me balling my eyes out when she said “okay stop” the way her voice broke. Bec you are beyond beautiful inside and out. Thank you for letting us watch your journey in your vulnerable heart breaking moments. Thanks for allowing us to see your strength and beauty shine threw. Eamon you are a real rock being there for Bec and helping to remind her how beautiful and loved she is.
The cute little plant holder representing hair growing back is possibly the most thoughtful sweetest present I've ever seen 😭❤️ you all are adorable. Cannot wait to see all this behind you and brighter sunny days ahead. After difficulty comes ease ❤️ you are so strong sharing such vulnerable moments and helping so many by doing so
You are so strong and I am so proud of you
U look incredible, sending my prayers❤️
Stopping at 22:00 to comment… Bec, your strength lies, in part, in your willingness to share your most vulnerable moments in this journey. Tears don’t represent weakness. They are a valid component in the grieving process, as we come to terms with a struggle, release the stress, reset and soldier onward. Keep up the fight! Praying for your treatment and recovery.
You both are in my thoughts throughout the days. Keep the faith, keep the love💕
Such beautiful words from your soul❤️
"you don't need hair for love"
And my tears just let loose.
Thank you, for those simple but most beautiful words.
This moment was incredible!
Just sending love and light your way beautiful people! I hope you two are doing well and I look forward to an update on your journey!
I just tuned in after a while and I am so sorry girl! This video made me cry. I know you got this. You are a strong woman!! I love you guys.
One of the hardest parts in my wife's early fight against breast cancer was shaving her head. It was very emotional for both of us. I have great news for you. It grows back when you beat cancer, and I know you will. It comes back just as beautiful as before.
Bec’s resilience and strength through this time is incredible and beyond words💖
But shit, the unconditional and fearless love that Eamon shows her gets me every single time 😭
