Wig, Hat or Scarf Party

   Hi everyone,

I just thought I would share something I did.  I can't even remember how I thought to do it (surprise, chemo brain).  

Anyway, in between my surgeries and chemo I had a "Wig, Hat or Scarf" Party.  Everyone had to wear either a wig, hat or scarf to the party...since I would be losing my hair soon I was the only one allowed to not wear anything on my head.
People could leave their wig, hat or scarf if they wanted, to get a stash ready for my baldness.
I was given many beautiful head coverings.
I think it helped our friends to be able to "do" something for us during such an uncertain time.  And it helped me, the coverings all reminded me day after day of the great love of my family and friends, how they all were praying for me.
I even used my hats and scarves as the decorations on our Christmas tree that year, I was too tired from chemo to put all the regular ornaments on, plus at the end of the day, I could just throw my wig or hat on the tree!
In April I will be three years out from my Dx.  I feel better than I ever had in my whole life because I am finally eating better, following the Anti-Cancer, A New Way of Life ideas.  A LOT less sugar.  That was key for me.
I hope this helps and encourages someone.
Now I just need to figure out how to celebrate making it to Three Years Out From Diagnosis Without a Recurrence!
Blessings, Katie
