Guerdy Abraira has shaved her head in preparation for beginning chemotherapy after disclosing her breast cancer diagnosis in May.
The 45-year-old Real Housewives of Miami star showed off her newly shaved head on Instagram on Wednesday, explaining that she had shaved it herself “before it falls off.”. ” .
The renowned event designer began her post with the phrase “CHEMO STARTS NOW.”. “[I] made the proactive decision to shave it off yesterday, before I start treatment and before it falls off. “.
She ended the post with, “Still planning on rocking wigs here and there, but if you see me out like this…don’t freak out! It’s still me…with way less hair,” and it included a video of her telling the camera, “This is the new me guys, hope you like it. “.
Dr. Nicole Martin, the mother of two’s co-star on RHOM, was quick to express her admiration for the mother-of-two, writing in the comments, “Beautiful anyway and everyday.”. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais continued, “With that face, you can wear any hairstyle. ”.
In an Instagram post from two months ago, Guerdy revealed her diagnosis. She claimed in the article that she learned of the news in March while on vacation in St. Barts following his “regular mammogram checkup.”.
”.
Russell Abraira, the woman’s husband of more than 20 years, was the one who shaved her hair, Abraira later revealed. She also included a picture of the firefighter holding a pair of clippers.
Guerdy said, “Even though this is a challenging journey, I’m grateful for everything in my life, including this humble experience that is strengthening me even more. “SWIPE to see Russell with those clippers!”.
As many people noticed, I took a break from social media last month as it took me some time to process it all, she wrote in her post. “Many of you contacted me to see how I was doing, and I appreciate your thoughtful actions. “.
The reality star said she is “getting ready for my upcoming surgery and then will come my treatment plan. This process is definitely intense and what I ask of you is empowerment not pity. “.
Guerdy then made a reference to her well-known “guerdyfy” term, which she uses on the Bravo show to describe the lavish events, parties, and weddings that she plans.
I will “guerdyfy” this cancer just like I guerdyfy everything else in my life, she said. “I am fortunate that this breast cancer was found at an early stage; of course, it is still frightening, but I have love and support from those around me, and that is all the fuel I need. “.
Russell, Guerdy’s business partner and high school sweetheart, and she have two sons together: Liam, age nine, and Miles, age fourteen. According to what the couple told PEOPLE in February, their 27 years of marriage have created an unbreakable bond.
She said, “I chose correctly.
“I just adore the aura that Russell exudes. To this day, every time he enters the room, I still think, “Oh yeah, I’d still hit that.”. And that’s the thing I like most about him. He exudes a confidence that no one can challenge due to his strength and attractiveness.
I’m not sure how to describe it.
His quiet giant, he. I don’t have anything to prove to anyone, etc. Furthermore, he was seen in the high school hallway. It’s just the way he has always been. “.
Naturally, we have many differences between us. But I feel like I kind of feed off of her boldness in life, you know?” he continued. “In the hallway, just like she said, is where it all began. We became inseparable right away. She is such a wonderful partner and mother.
She also has a wonderful heart.
We are fortunate to have found one another, in my opinion. “.
RHOM season 6 filming got underway earlier this year. On her Instagram, Guerdy has posted a number of images and videos with the cast, including ones of them leaving for a Pride celebration.
Fans can watch the previous seasons on Peacock while waiting for the premiere, which has not yet been scheduled.
