Maria-
I was so excited last year to find tons of hats at both K-mart and Walmart when I was going through chemo. They were perfect for the summer and I got lots of compliments. My favorite was a pink Panama Jack hat that I wore with a scarf underneath. That hat is still my favorite and is hung up prominently in my bedroom. I never was a "hat person" before, but think that that's one thing that has stuck with me even though my hair has grown in now. Another small, but positive thing from cancer. :-)
Love, Kelly
