I saw an article in the newspaper over the weekend about the American Cancer Society's Look Good, Feel Better program. It's being held at Sharon Cancer Care where I'll be having treatment. It's a program that helps female cancer patients do hair and makeup while going through chemo and radiation. I took the initiative today and calle American Cancer Society and registered for it. Have heard from someone that it is a great program and they give out lots of good advice and tidbits of information. I'm not into makeup but figure just being involved with others will be a good support system. A time to meet others in the same boat. One more step in the healing process for me.
I've been taking it easy and doing as my doctor recommends. Am finding comfort in listening to CDs that deal with meditation. Learning to be less anxious in what I have no control over.
I got a wonderful email today from our friends in Phoenix who we visited with in February. Their young granddaughter just got her hair cut and donated the hair to "Locks of Love". You have to donate a minimum of 10 inches so she gave up a lot of hair for someone else. They are a non-profit organization that makes hairpieces for financially disadvantaged children suffering from long term medical hairloss . Rachel is 6 1/2 years old and has always wanted to do this out of love. She's my special angel today! Thanks Rachel....
