This gave back my self-esteem 27 March 2015
This is my new hair style. Unfortunately not my own ...yet.

added to that was the challenge of dealing with the hair loss.
At first the loss was slow, but then it went very quickly
I didnt feel like myself anymore .
Everytime I looked in the mirror, there was a stranger looking at me.

And oh my gosh......this wig gave back my selfesteem and my power to keep fighting.
I m so thankful that this was possible through all your Support and love.
