Just remember, it'll come back...and if not, there are always wigs and tattoos! My grandmother had breast cancer and though her hair came back everywhere else, her eyebrows never did grow back in. So she had them tattooed on!
You're beautiful and we love you!
Sending prayers for the chemo/radiation roughness to go easy on you. Joshua 1:9 & 2 Kings 6:16
You forgot one thing: August 18th, shop for wigs and scarves with kat. Geez. I thought we had a date! :)
Our date was WAY better! Mani, Pedi, FREE MEALS, and lots of laughs! BIG TIME DATE is still yet to come. Can we find something appropriate and less conservative at the HALLOWEEN STORE? I think it might suit my fancy more. :) ha ha
Linda, you are a warrior and are in our thoughts and prayers. There is this cool campaign I get stickers for thought you and Kat might like it... feelyourboobies.com
Oh, I never had radiation, didn't qualify. Thought I was going to have to, but never did. I'm actually really glad
