Hair Loss as well as Other

[Guest guest]

I don't know how many of you saw Etheridge perform the Janis Joplin song

at some awards show, but it was so powerful.

She battled breast cancer and appeared with no hat or wig ... completely

baldheaded.

And when she belted out " Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now

baby! " She said she realized it was the cancer she was singing about. Then when

she did the " scream " , she felt like she was letting out all of it.

That SO hit home with me. I've said before that when they told me " You have

cancer " my heart broke. And it is still broken and probably always will be, but

it is mending.

I'm now about 18 months post treatment and still finding little bits and pieces

of myself, here and there. But the old is gone. I kinda miss her:)

Just some thoughts,

nancy j

Lydia, Your reply

What has shocked me before, it's begining to look normal and

almost natural.

There is so much truth to that. I could not of put it any better.

happened to me too. The old one had some many dreams and plans for

the future. Now my future I see it over my kids. They are my future.

Before I wanted to conquer the world. Now I feel the world has

conquered me. And yet this new me is thriving and getting stronger

every day. What has shocked me before, it's begining to look normal

and almost natural.
