Well I
think I might be getting more brave going out without my wig on :). I
went to the grocery store by myself with just a hat on-no stares, at
least ones that I was aware of. Most of the time at home I just go
bald or wear my bandanna. If someone comes to the door I quickly
throw on a hat or bandanna. The other night someone came by the
door, Austin answered it and said it was for me, so I came to the
door and was just talking with this person (he wasn't looking at me
weird or anything). We were carrying on a conversation when all of
the sudden I realized I hadn't put on a hat or my bandanna. Oops! I
was ok though, it didn't bug me. Usually its only close friends and
family that I have let see me bald. I realized it was ok, that is who
I am right now. That was a huge step for me to realize. Mark and I
decided to run to the store, I didn't have my wig on cause I'd been
home all day, so I just grabbed my Disney cap and put it on to go to
the store. I told Mark to watch for people staring at me but neither
of us really noticed any staring. Some people just smiled, others
looked and then went on with there business. Even the pharmacy staff
didn't bat an eye and they usually see me with my wig.

Getting Braver.....

Reflections....Cancer.net....
Reflections (taken
from http://www.cancer.net)
The end of
treatment can be a time to look forward to
the future.
New rituals and new beginnings can bring a
and
emotional change.
Now that
treatment is over, try to take time to get
back in
tune with yourself. Allow healing time for
you and
your family members and caregivers. Think
about what
you can do to begin living without cancer
as a main
focus.
Whether
good or bad, life-changing situations often
give people
the chance to grow, learn, and appreciate
what’s
important to them.
Many people
with cancer describe their experience
as a
journey. It’s not necessarily a journey they would
have chosen
for themselves.
But it
sometimes presents the opportunity to look at
things in a
different way.
