The Skulener Rebbe is known to give this advice to women. My daughter in law’s friend had been diagnosed with a brain tumor(something she kept secret and did not tell her family about). She consulted with the Skulener Rebbe Shlita who gave her the same advice and she followed the advice. She too is not Chassidish but considers herself and family Heimish. She is B”H healthy and fine and is building a beautiful family.(The Rebbe says that cancer=kain sayar, meaning no hair).(I know you B”H did not fall into that test). This friend told my daughter in law whose family has a minhag and does shave, to discuss her feelings about it because her(freind’s) family would be opposed to it. Yes, it is not an easy undertaking.If your husband is very against it then consult with your Rav whom you asked shailos and discuss with him. Hatzlochah Rabboh!
