One morning, though, I was taking my hair out of its ponytail and it just stayed in its clump. I stepped in the shower. As soon as I tried to shampoo my hair it fell to the tiles, blocking the drain. I jumped out in frustration, dried off and picked up that clump. I wanted to throw it across the room. It would be like getting rid of the cancer itself. Then I looked in the mirror. I didn't even recognize myself. I dashed downstairs and picked up Brittany off her stand.

一天早晨，我解开结成簇的马尾辫。走进淋浴间，刚要洗头，那簇头发掉到地上，堵住了下水道。我气急败坏跳出来，擦干身体，捡起它。我想把它扔到房间的另一头，就像扔掉癌症本身。我照了下镜子，几乎认不出自己。我冲下楼梯，拿起架子上的Brittany。

Brittany：布列塔尼是法国西部的一个地区,也是公司名。本文中是什么前文应有交待，这里用的是she,猜测可能是玩具娃娃？
