1/1 MONDAY afternoon marked the end of a Dunfermline barber s long locks as she made an empowering move in her cancer journey. With the help of her young son, Taylor, and his enthusiasm to shave his mum s head, Laurie Gallacher stepped foot inside New Row Barbers – her place of work for 24 years – as a woman on a mission. As her first treatment for breast cancer had resulted in handfuls of hair falling out, she decided to take matters into her own hands and embrace the change brought on by the chemotherapy. It felt liberating, it felt powerful, she told the Press as she continues to share her fight with Press readers.
