After chemotherapy, I looked really bad with no hair. My head was too small, my eyebrows were too big (unfortunately, they didn’t fall out). I didn’t look too frail, but I was probably pretty pale. It was with this look that I proceeded to make out and connect with three of the most attractive girls I’ve ever been with.
