This July 25th, I will have survived 4 years. I knew when I heard the words from the doctor, that my life, as I knew it, was about to change. I was determined to make that change for the better.
I am blessed with a husband, and 4 beautiful daughters (inside and out). They went through my cancer with me.
Also knowing that LAUGHTER is the best medicine, I played while I had the disease. When I was sick and bald, we all had fun with the wig, taking silly pictures. My girls bought me some beautiful scarves and helped learn how to wear them. Hats were great to laugh at too.
Today my cancer days are a memory, a great memory, and I know I’m blessed to have survived. I try to help whenever I hear of any newly diagnosed sisters, and I try always to get them to see the humor in the changes that take place. From loss of body image, and hopefully rebuilding, to loss of hair, to feeling weird from the chemo, etc.
Cancer isn’t funny, but I know from how I was able to go through it, making fun of it all helped me to know that I would survive and be here to help others survive.
Thanks for your fine website and allowing me to express myself…can’t wait to receive my order!!!!!
