Before my body experienced cancer,
I though
cancer = bald + skinny
I was sure I would loose 60 lbs ( and then of course I would be able to maintain that)
All my moles would fall off
And my hair would come in thick and brown.
I learned
Only of few of us get that bald shinny look on the head,
My moles all stayed in place,
Most people gain weight after Chemo,
Christie was told she would loose her hair.
We all went to the hair and makeup class to prepare, and pick out our wigs. 
She didn’t loose her hair,
Her makeup is superb.
I know
A new sister hood was made,
New tears for new friends,
The pain I would feel for my cancer buddies, and their challenges
And
My hair is still grey
My moles all are in place
I am still the healthy weight of a cute and chubby grandma,
My love has grown
My heart is soft
I will look the same
But I am not
Thank you Carol, you are such a sweetie! In spite of it all we managed to make good friend. Yes we even managed to have fun!!!!. I’m glad I didn’t loose my hair but I was tempted to shave it all off just to be part of the girls!. We all had so much fun trying on different wigs and playing with makeup with a makeup artist. Love you Carol and thank you for your beautiful smile!!!!
Carol I understand the weigh thing. I laid in ICU for 28 days on nothing but IV fluids. Total weight loss…Zero. Lesson learned, be thankful for the body that our Heavenly Father gave us no matter the size or shape. It took me 50 years to learn and accepts this. So know you are loved with moles, rolls or grey hair( just like the rest of us) Keep on smiling my dear friend for the rains must come so the rainbow can appear!
