I am about to embark on a new journey, namely chemotherapy. I found out I had breast cancer yet again (first time was 34 years ago, when I was still young). This is not a recurrence, it is a new and improved cancer. It actually was about 3 tumors (and don’t ask me how the hell that happened) but that’s what did. I had two surgeries – one just a lumpectomy, and when the pathology report came in, the doctor told me, although the ca was only stage 1 (it had not spread) it was a very aggressive cancer (of course, only the best for me). So, I had to do something I never wanted to do–I had a mastectomy (boo-hoo). Now I am having chemo too on Tuesday. In trying to be proactive, I bought a wig and here are a couple of self-portraits of me wearing it. I had it over my hair. I decided to document this.
