Still Feeling Pretty, During a Breast Cancer Journey
As we come to the end of breast cancer awareness month, I wanted to touch on one of the most important issues women face when going through treatment and that is the way they look and feel.
Having watched my mother during treatment for breast cancer, and subsequently have a double mastectomy with a host of complications, I've seen first hand how this disease can impact a woman's self image. Women who are facing and on this journey, have a million things on their mind. They wonder and worry that everything is going to be ok, and they think about the important people in their life. Often, talking about their experience past and current, improves their mental and emotional state.
