Sarah said a lack of hair can be associated with victimhood and punishment, citing examples like Fantine in Les Misérables and Game of Thrones' Cersei Lannister. She said: "People are ashamed of their bald heads. [...] Why? If you've got breast cancer and you're having treatment, the fact you have no hair is not a reason to be ashamed". Sarah - who debuted her shaved head in photos for the outlet - said: "I don't want to be ashamed. I don't want other people to feel ashamed. I want to change that stereotype." She had initially cut her hair short with the help of her sons Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Raffey 14, and Laurie, 13. She posted about the experience on Instagram b){kind=link}
