Paula,

I am so appreciative of you posting this link!

I had the idea of gathering photos of what women did with their hair, prior to losing it, and also of breasts, pre and post surgery and scars, reconstruction, etc . and making a book with them. So happy to see that it has been done!

My personal cancer journey has been a mix of the powerful and the mundane.
Of seeing the beauty amidst the pain, the ugliness, the fear.

What courage these women have to proudly show their altered and BEAUTIFUL bodies! And what courage we have to bravely view them!
