Breast Cancer and Fashion 2010- Pink Dresses

I am not the type to read Vogue or read the fashion magazines.  But I like to shop thrift stores and I was curious as to what was in for the Spring.  My search found that I kind of don't like allot of the clothes that are "in" this year, at least not those I've found so far with the exception of this collection displayed by Susan B Komen called "Pink Dresses."  I wonder why I am partial to them. You know why.   Pink Dresses.

Cancer In India- New Delhi Walk

Thanks to Twitter @Survive_Cancer I came across this article on a walk-a-thon held annually in New Delhi.  It was sponsored by "Can Support," a non-governmental organization (NGO).

The NEW Way to see Cancer- Mammograms & Thermal Imaging

I had my first Mammogram in 2005.  It was my first and last.  It showed I had a spider web of cancer in my left breast and within 6 months my breasts were taken and they gave me a new set and I've been told I never can or need to do a Mammogram again.  One of the few benefits I have discovered from my experience.  I never have to be exposed to the discomfort or the radiation of that type of MRI again.  At the same time it is a necessary evil.  And I worry some times that now it is harder to find out if I have cancer or not because I can't have a mammogram.

Ways to relieve Stress- the SPA.

THE FOLLOWING WAS SOMETHING I FELT URGED TO WRITE.  PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT ANYTHING YOU DECIDE TO DO AND ABOVE ALL LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.  YOU KNOW BEST FOR YOU.
OK.  I have learned that we women have the right to pamper ourselves.  Actually the same is true for men.  Back east I felt that things like Spas and massages were something only accessible to the very well to do, or were silly. Plus the idea of being touched by someone else did not suit me.  I've done a 180 on that one.

Cancer and why not give your hair away.

If you need a wig, there are stores here in Los Angeles that cater to the industry and you can fine their websites on line.   I was surprised at what is available if you look.  Your hair is a source of self esteem and it really is something that I imagine would be shocking to lose.  I did not have to lose mine. A wardrobe guy from Carnivale sent me to one to buy a wig just in case.  I actually ended up getting a beautiful blonde natural wig. I have issues with the idea of chemo or radiation, and luckily I did not go through that. 

I think food affects cancer.

We live in a world where we can find ways to eat well and take care of our bodies and survive disease.  I want someone to do a study of acid and alkaline.  I am also trying to drink water with apple cider vinegar for my tummy.  It seems to be helping.  Again please talk to doctors.  Safety first.

I get ghost pains lately in my chest.  Like what I lost is still there.  I miss them so bad.  I miss the body I had.  I want so much to work on sets and create art.  The Cancer taught me that life is so short.  We should not be wasting it regulating each other and being like 1984.  How I yearn for something I doubt I will ever find.  I am grateful for the cancer though.  I think it gave me the strength to finally tell those in my life not willing to let me live to leave my life.

Being Positive Can Sometimes Mean Allowing Others to Feel Bad!

I went to take a look at a video on some new Amendment and ended up finding the video linked below on the Daily Show.  It was almost like I was supposed to find it.  I agree with it.  I hate it when someone tells me to be positive, when I am still fighting to do what I want despite everything I've been through.  I get kicked for expressing my honest pain or opinion.
