That's one of the reasons that I started coloring my hair again. I started going gray at 19, so I've been coloring my hair since the late 1980's. About 3 days after I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, I was driving to work when there was a story on the radio that women who colored their hair for more than 25 years had a higher incidence of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, I almost drove off the road. I decided then and there to go white. I actually got lots of compliments on it. However, a few months later my oldest daughter was receiving Confirmation, and we were having a big party. She said, "Mommy, please dye your hair for my party. You look like an old lady!" I went out and bought dye the next day.
