Thumbs up Awesome!

Well, I see you have become the new you! Congrats for stepping outside your comfort zone! Doesn't it make you feel great? I highlighted my hair just before going to Florida and with the sun and all it is really light and very wavy. Never had wavy hair in my life except from perms which I stopped having years ago. Since I returned from Florida everyone thinks it looks great and I had a perm! I have also lost my hair at least 3 times. When my oncologist saw me this time he just looked at me and said "what happened to your hair?" He was so busy I still don't know what he meant. I simply said, "oh this is my hair and not a wig". I think he thought my wigs look better! Anyway, enjoy the change. Everyone keeps telling me how much I have changed!! I don't let people bother me anymore if they don't like it they can look the other way. Now, how is that for being in control? I wear clothes I never would wear before, eat foods I never liked and oh I could write a book. My best friend who is a bc survivor and I spent one day and talked about how we had changed and we both were able to write down the exact same changes!!! Now, how cool is that? hugs, Sandy
