She says, "This (cancer) has hijacked my life for long enough and now I am going to take matters into my own hands.

And Ray insists even losing her famed glossy locks has been a positive experience: "My hair is coming back and it is looking awesome right now. I am just loving it. It is the sleekest and most well-put together I have ever looked. But I have enjoyed being bald."
