Monday, I attended a special class sponsored by the American Cancer Society "Look Good, Feel Better". I would recommend the class for any female that is undergoing cancer treatments. The class is facilitated by a licensed cosmotologist who provides advice on dealing with skin, nail and hair changes that occur with most chemotherapy. She taught the group about makeup application and how to keep makeup "clean" and "sanitary" because of the increased risk for infections. Everyone attending received a bag with about $250 worth of makeup and skin care products donated by major cosmetic companies, such as Clinique, Mary Kay, Clarins, Estee Lauder and others. We discussed wig fitting, hats and scarves. It was informative and a lot of fun!
I am doing well, staying close to home and enjoying friends' visits and calls. I rode to Pittsburg on Wednesday with a friend to get a Starbucks. My next treatment is June 12.
If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation. The old things have gone; everything is made new! 2 Corinthians 5:17
