Cancer is not the boss of me.: What do you mean I don't look like a cancer patient?
Until the day I just did not care anymore. I felt so horrible and the kids were at school, so I just went in with no makeup, dark sunglasses and a hat on wearing a matching velvet like tracksuit. I felt like crap and it showed. You know that point where you feel so bad that you do not give a Bleep. That's how I felt, and my oncologist was kind enough to point it out for everyone to see. Thanks Dr. Reyes. I know somewhere in there was a compliment, at least I'm pretty sure there was. I guess not looking like a typical cancer patient over the past 6 months prior to that days visit was a good thing, making today's raw unadorned face so shocking.????? I don't know, but I do know that her statement stuck with me over the past 5 years of my journey with breast cancer. I would like it to be noted that I have not shown up since that day without makeup on. Just saying.
I don't think I am a vain person, but I know I am not blessed with natural beauty, my face needs a little help and God bless makeup. :) There is something to be said for a great shade of lipstick that makes a women feel like she can conquer the world. :) Even conquering a chemo room.
