Kellie Pickler was portrayed as a dumb blonde on American Idol, but she did something very smart for a friend of hers. Kellie’s best friend Summer Holt Miller was diagnosed with breast cancer in June and she will start chemo tomorrow to beat it. As we all know the chances of someone losing their hair while undergoing the treatment is very likely, so Summer shaved her head yesterday and not wait for the chemo to make her bald. Kellie supported her “sister” by also shaving her head, so that she would not be alone with the bald head. I think the singer looks as beautiful as what she did for her for her friend.
Good for Kellie for being real American Idol and bringing awareness about how detecting breast cancer early can save your life. Like Summer who was diagnosed with it at the age of 36 and she insisted on getting a mammogram even though doctors thought she was too young. If she didn’t know who knows where she would be. So ladies remember check and get those mammograms every year. And let’s all hope and pray that Summer gets through this quickly and cancer free.
