Cancer Stuff

So today was my last chemo! Huzzah! So, a few related questions:

1. Anyone have any connections that could be helpful to getting discounted/free appetizers at a bar for a group of 15-20 young adult cancer survivors on a somewhat regular basis? I'm the co-chair of the Boston Chapter of i[2]y which is an org for people diagnosed between 15-40 and I've been seriously slacking at organizing a Stupid Cancer Pub Crawl. Ideally would be close to the red line, have space for a small group, and feel bad for us so they give us things for free. :P Cancer is expensive and I'm poor, what can I say? Alternatively, if you are another young adult cancer survivor and would like to be involved in a cool organization with people who get it, let me know!


2. So, what's left of my hair is in this really weird half grown state. I cut it down to about an inch when it started falling out and now, 3 months later, it's thinned significantly and I have hair anywhere from barely sprouted to a shaggy 2+ inches. It also sticks straight up Sonic the Hedgehog style. I always had my hair long and want to grow it long again, so I'm at a loss of what to do with it. Anyone have a salon/stylist suggestion for someone who is adept at short hair styles on women, as well as helping style and cut growing out hair, and not look like a crazy mullet? 


3. Only semi related, but feel bad for me, I just went through 6 months of chemo. :P I'm looking for a desk that is smaller than the one I currently have for my desktop. I don't really care what it is as long as it will hold my monitor and keyboard. The one I have now is too big in my very small room, so I'd like to move it back to the kitchen to be used as a shelf. Does anyone happen to be getting rid of one for Sept 1?  I can take away anything that will fit in my Civic. Thanks!

I don't know what time your outings would be, but I know that Redbones has a special deal from 4-6pm at the bar downstairs offering certain appetizers 1/2 off, I *think* Monday through Friday. I think Unos in Harvard Square has some kind of deal between 4 and 7pm as well as after 10pm, though I don't have the details. I suggest calling them both to make sure the deals are still on. Also, I have seen signs for 1/2 price tapas at an Indian restaurant in Davis, but I don't recall which restaurant it is (there is more than one in Davis).

I might actually know someone who could work with your hair--will check with her and message you with what I find out.

Good luck!
