Flori:
You are correct, I would also benefit from dim lighting, excessive alcohol consumption, extreme distance, or a heavy fog, beings how I'm uglier than a bucket of frogs. I am not saying Colleen isn't still beautiful to me. It is more like I am feeling sad because it looked like Colleen had several years of life sucked from her by all of this. Maybe in a few months it will all go away. I just thought it was odd that the aging due to chemo hasn't been discussed very much, and I was wondering whether it is a matter of aging being a temporary effect or is it a subject that nobody wants to talk about.
