Raw Photoshoot Of Woman Preparing To Battle Breast Cancer As Husband Shaves Off Her Hair Goes Viral
Photographer Mandy Parks recently captured the pain, beauty, and bravery of a woman’s fight with breast cancer. The couple’s photoshoot shows Kelsey Johnson shaving his wife, Charlie’s, head.
The Arkansas photographer’s post has received more than 209K reactions and 215K shares in less than a day, and people from all over the world are sending the couple their best wishes.

According to BreastCancer.org, hair loss occurs because chemotherapy targets all rapidly dividing cells—healthy cells as well as cancer cells. “Hair follicles, the structures in the skin filled with tiny blood vessels that make hair, are some of the fastest-growing cells in the body. If you’re not in cancer treatment, your hair follicles divide every 23 to 72 hours. But as the chemo does its work against cancer cells, it also destroys hair cells. Within a few weeks of starting chemo, you may lose some or all of your hair,” the organization wrote.

Cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy can experience both gradual and dramatic hair loss: clumps in their hairbrush, handfuls in the tub drain or on their pillow. “Whichever way it happens, it’s startling and depressing, and [people] will need a lot of support during this time.”

And while some chemotherapy drugs affect only the hair on a person’s head, others cause the loss of eyebrows and eyelashes, pubic hair, and hair on their legs, arms, or underarms.
“The extent of hair loss depends on which drugs or other treatments are used, and for how long. The various classes of chemotherapy drugs all produce different reactions.”

Some of the people who begin chemotherapy and start losing their hair want to cut it very short to ease into the transition. It’s really challenging. Sporting a bald head may make you feel less attractive and seductive.
In Kelsey and Charlie’s situation, it’s clear from these beautiful photos that the intimacy they have with each other doesn’t depend on looks. Their bond is a testament to couples that appearance is just a minor player in what truly matters.

In the U.S., about 1 in 8 women (roughly, 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2019, an estimated 268,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 62,930 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer. And although medical tests can be nerve-wracking, they are essential in keeping women’s breasts healthy and getting the proper care if they develop breast cancer.

Share on FacebookThe choice to shave one's head is also sometimes made simply because the weight of the hair is painful. Chemo is a b***h. Some chemo doesn't cause hair loss at all but still sucks just the same. There's also a lot of guilt in not losing your hair in chemo when surrounded by the fellow fighting soldiers and veterans. (I hate the word "survivor" -- I didn't "survive," I f*****g fought). This photoshoot is absolutely stunning. I send wishes for a quick NED to Charlie; may she only have to ring that bell once.
(I hate the word "survivor" -- I didn't "survive," I f*****g fought). Hell ya!
Load More Replies...i always see people in these comments saying this or that made my cry.. well.. this one finally got me. the emotion of her husband and the connection they both have to do this together is huge.. good vibes from a bad situation. good luck to this family.
I'm with you, Greg. Whoa. I didn't expect to feel this way. Good luck indeed.
Load More Replies...These photos are more beautiful than any photos I've seen to date! May her strength empower others to keep going and fight! Thank you for sharing!
My husband shaved my head. I didn't want to see the hair fall out. It never fully grew back. I did rock the bald though :)
I am hoping not to see some comments claiming essential oils or some other homeopathic remedies will cure her cancer but these days the anti-vaccers are everywhere. If you have cancer or know someone that does, please, please do not believe anti-vaccers when they claim that all you need is to change your diet or use essential oils or something of the sort. Things like cancer must be fought aggressively and your doctor is the one that will know how to properly.
Yeah. After sharing with my specialist the suggestions from my well meaning friends, he said "don't you think we'd dance naked round a fire sacrificing a goat if the medical evidence backed it up", makes me laugh still today.
Load More Replies...This is way over the top. I let my husband shave my head after the first chemo. It started falling out randomly and looked like s**t. Not an emotional moment. After that I had to clean shave it, because the follicles want to expel the hair and that hurts. Like needlepins. Still not an emotional moment. If they're gonna cry over everything, they're gonna have a hard time. There's no fighting in breastcancer. You either have metastasis or you don't. With the first you die, with the second you have a chance to live. All you have to do is endure the treatment. After that the real battle starts. Getting back to be yourself after the chemo ravaged your body.
Such a beautiful photoshoot. So much love and strength between them. I wish them both the best of luck in their fight ❤️ I still remember waking up one day, a few days after my second round of chemo, and finding clumps of hair on my pillow. My mum came into my room and she tried to so hard not to cry whilst she comforted me, but every night I heard her crying in bed. Chemo is awful, but we get through it.
This is the most beautiful post I have seen. Although I don't know of anyone who has had beast cancer, this has me crying like a little baby. I hope you will always stay strong for each other.
My sister is currently going through the Chemo and it's not pretty so I'm uncertain how I feel about this post.
Load More Replies...This is what I would do as well, and then get a wig made out of my own hair. Best of luck to them both! F**K CANCER!
Not my son, I went for the allergy department which is in the same department as oncology. I went fearing he had allergies and got humble when I saw that bell as I'm not in that situation. My point was cancer is such a painful thing that anything becomes tiny near the reality of it. I've lost family to cancer and loving my son so much makes me even more hurt when I see people even my patients going through this.
I went through this with my wife when she was going through her Ovarian Cancer. It was a hard day.
I just came from the hospital now and the children's oncology department is on the same room as the allergy department and
When I saw the bell I didn't know what it was until I read the little letters underneath saying "congratulations for your victory, you may now ring the bell" . - the oncology department) I cried my eyes out because I love my son and the thought seeing him go through the pain that I see the patients back at work go through just made me wanna stand up and clap for all the warriors out there. I've seen pain in their eyes, I've lost people to cancer and I wish there was no such thing, stay strong all of you out there, you're the toughest of the tough.
Load More Replies...This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. My husband also shaved my head, but once it started falling out. He looked as shaken as this man looks. She's incredible for fighting, but he's also amazing to let his emotions show. That's not always easy for men. But it certainly helps those of us that have gone through this.
Great photos...she will be glad she has these photos to look back on. Her hair will grow back in time and she will be cancer free. My sis-in-law shaved my head for me when chemo made it start to fall out. I had breast cancer in my 40s and knew it was inevitable, so I was prepared. Seven years later, my hair is thicker and stronger than it was then and cancer made me a tougher person.
Thats true love people and most of us can only dream of having just that in itself 🤜🏻🤛🏻They are warriors alright ❤️🙏🏼
Strong...love...surviver...survive, and keep on keepin on ❤️💪🏻U can do this and ur hair as beautiful as it was, doesnt make u, ur beauty is within u and i see it shining from Australia. Stay strong sista
This is so inspiring to see frame by frame especially the boxing glove pictures. I hope everyone in the war of cancer wins their battle!
When I was diagnosed with TNBC, I shaved my head after two surgeries and before chemo. It was nice not having to shave my legs or underarms LOL. But, I also bought a wig (at the advice of my kids). But, I never wore it. I've never been a big one for looks/fashion, so it was easy for me. I am still afraid it will metastasize or return. But, today I woke up. And, my hair grew back after three years.
My daughter C8 and son Matt were there with me through chemo (3 months) and radiation (33 days). The scariest part for me was that for one of the chemo meds I got the nurse had to put on a Hazmat suit.
Load More Replies...January 2004 i lost my wife to cancer. While holding her in my arms she took her last breath. Stories like this one hit deep.
My hairdresser came into her shop on a day it was normally closed to shave my head and fit my wig. It was the single most selfless, generous things anyone did for me throughout the whole ordeal. She would not accept any payment. Eighteen years and counting. I am a survivor. I don't hate the word, I cherish it, because how do you really fight cancer? You get the best doctors you can, you take the best poisons they can give you to kill the invader cells, you pray, you suffer and sometimes, you make it through. Some of my sisters fell. I was lucky. We are all in the same club that no one joins voluntarily. Bless all of them. I was never angry, i was scared. Now I'm grateful.
This really hit me hard, having a hard time not just crying right now. My cousin Jackie died after a long, hard battle with breast cancer about a month ago. We were really close, she was so strong and amazing and such an inspiration for me and my cousins. She was incredible, I'm glad to have her as a part of my life.
I'm a guy and the choice to shave my head due to mpb was a hard one to make. Can't imagine what it is like for a woman.
I've seen and lost so many people in my life due to cancer... this is a beautiful photo shoot and I love the boxing glove photos at the end!
First of all I hope Charlie comes through OK and Kelsey gets the support he'll need too. As a man who has been through cancer and having lost my hair twice I have a few comments. I appreciate losing hair for women can be much more difficult than for men but I still vividly remember the moment in the shower I realised my hair was coming out after my first round of chemo. My wife helped me shave my head, up until now I hadn't thought how much it might have effected her. Before my final round of treatment I went to a barber had him shave it to a number 1, still had to pay full price :) As the article says, some people lose a little hair, some lose a lot. I lost everything in the first round. Not having to shave was great (well a quick once over once a week to get any odd hairs took a minute or too). People notice the lack of eyebrows (at least on men) more than anything else. Not having eyelashes sucks. Make sure you get eye drops if that happens.
Hair growing back is fun! I normally have straight thin brown hair. After my second treatment it was blond and curly (apparently like when I was a baby). Unfortunately the blondness went first and then the curliness. Kind of missed both but mostly the curliness after 40 years of boring straight hair! Strangest thing was how soft it was as it first grew out. As it had never been cut it the ends were soft and rounded.

WOW! How emotional and heart tugging is this story? Prayers to her for a full recovery and blessings to a living husband.
The photographer just so amazingly captured the souls.....Beautiful!
Not only am I crying, but my husband is too. Both of my Grandmothers have had breast cancer. One was taken from us 18 years ago, and the other is still here. But his Grandmother in his mothers side lost her battle to this as well. It's something we stare into everyday and worry about in the back of our minds. These are absolutely so powerful, beautiful, and the LOVE you see and can feel radiate from these two! Good luck doll!
There should be some ceremony or tradition, like a wedding, a funeral, a birthday, for preparing to fight against illness. To fight for your life. Some right of passage. Something like this is a good start. Including a chorus of people devoted to helping you, and having them announce how they intend to help would also be amazing.
The looks on her and his face they the shoot are heartbreaking. 😢
oh man... i have already lost so many beloved ones because of cancer... seeing this almost made me cry... i wish her and him all the best!
She looks stunning with and without her hair, I wish her a full recovery and a long life! ❤️
My battle with Breast cancer started 4 years ago, after so many Chemo, Radiation and other natural therapy treatments that I took just to cure my Breast cancer, it all did not work for my condition. I was treating this disease for almost 4 year, I was cured with World Rehabilitate Clinic formula. This is medication that totally kills cancer cells. They also have a cure for hysterectomy issues, Alzheimer's Disease and more other chronic diseases. Contact ( worldrehabilitateclinic.com or WhatsApp +17278553511.
HOW MY DAD WAS CURED FROM CANCER.My name is ERIC from UK my Dad have been suffering from (CANCER) disease for the past 2 years he had constant pain, During the first year, we all had faith in God that i would be healed someday. This disease started circulating all over his body, after going through ( 5 ) chemotherapy and radiatherapy for 1year and he has been taking cytotoxic, monoclonal antibodies, (MABs) treatment from his doctor he was tired of life, he wanted to commit suicide, few months ago i decided to go on search in the internet if i could get any information concerning the cure for Cancer, on my search i saw a testimony of Mrs Sharon from USA who has been cured from (CANCER) by this great Dr. Alabi Mohammed and she drop the whatsapp number +2348155011610.... of the DR. Alabi and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so i wrote to Dr. Alabi telling him about my Dad's (CANCER) so he sent us the herbal medicines through DHL courier service.
I kicked cancer's butt 16 years ago. It hasn't shown it's face since. I shaved my head too. I wanted to be in control of something.
Not trying to make light but I'm curious how many people assume that he is Charlie and she is Kelsey. That aside, this one is a though one! I can't imagine being in his shoes and watching my wife go through this... Or in her shoes as well and have to fight this
Deja poo. This scenario has been played out thousands of times in social media as if it's some sort of public rite of passage. I can't even imagine being self obsessed enough to stage this kind of thing for the public in such a contrived, attention whoring manner!
My husband had to shave my head too, but we didn't make such a big damn deal out of it. He said it was the hardest thing he's ever had to do and still we didn't spew it all over the internet for sympathy. Some things are, and should be, private.
I get what you are saying. I shaved my identical twin sisters head last year when she went through chemo for breast cancer. She was like: Ok, let's get this over with. After all it's just hair. She would never have had a photo shoot like this but people cope differently with distress. While you may think this is way too cheesy it certainly helped that lovely couple to deal with her fate. They're saying: Cancer sucks but I will fight it and you can too.
