I am a 3 1/2 year breast cancer survivor. When I first heard the "C" word I was out of town on business. That's all I heard from the other end of the phone even though that phone conversation lasted 15 minutes. My emotions changed constantly; from sadness, crying, scared, mad and then let's deal with it and get on with life. When I started losing my hair from chemo a close friend sent me the following. It made me laugh and I send it to eveyone I know going through breast cancer and chemo.
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she only had three hairs on her head. Well, I think I'll braid my hair today....she did and had a wonderful day. The next day she saw she only had two hairs and said I think I'll part my hair down the middle...she did and had a grand day. The next day she only had one hair and said I'm going to wear a pony tail...she did and had a fun day. The next day she didn't have any hair on her head and said "Yipppeee...I don't have to fix my hair today!"
Laughter IS the best medicine!
