Chemotherapy can rob you of dignity, hair and stomach contents but it cannot take away who you are. It cannot take your humour, compassion or the love for your family and friends. It teaches you to make the most out of any situation. In some ways cancer has taught me to live. Without cancer I would never had known inner courage. Once I learned this inner courage I fed off it. I turned a negative into a positive and found the needs of cancer patients and those affected by it. I feel I was left here for a reason and I believe it was to help others.
I opened a store providing fashionable headwear, natural skin care, prosthetics, bras and lingerie for prosthetics, menopausal sleepwear and many inspirational gifts. Most of all we offer support. We have and will continue to fundraise so we can help support the financial needs of cancer affiliated organizations. The fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis should never be handled alone. If someone would have walked into my life who was a living survivor and had a good quality of life, it would have made a huge difference in those early days. I hope by sharing my story it will help give others hope.
