Who would have ever thought that I would have my two breasts tattooed in my lifetime? I hope and pray that the tattoos help me feel whole again!

Am I still beautiful? Some people lose weight with chemo, others gain. I gained. And I was so used to being hairless that I still forgot to shave at times. I snapped this picture on the spur of the moment the night before I took my hair to be donated to Locks of Love. So here I am—no make up, unshaven, 30 extra pounds, crowning glory gone, a single breast….Would anyone see me as beautiful now?

Sadly after supporting the Susan G. Komen Foundation for years I can no longer do this. There are other breast cancer organizations that do good work, including the Avon Walk. No matter that SGK has reversed their decision regarding Planned Parenthood, their Board Of Directors were aware of the move to deny funding to P.P. so at this time my donations will have to go elsewhere and I will be leaving this Flickr group.

actually, today, after three days of being hammered, SGK reversed their decision.

PP will continue to receive grants from them.

i'm really disappointed in Susan G. Komen's decision. it will affect mainly poor people who will be able to get info about breast health & cancer elsewhere.

100 Survivors PREVIEW!

100 Survivors: Clara Behar 1. my face (daily)
April 3, 2005: This is the day I found out that the cancer had moved into my brain. Of all the places that breast cancer could go, the idea that it might spread to the brain always scared me the most. This day was a nightmare. I was horrified and so afraid.

The next day: Getting it back together, I have a celebration of long hair. My hair took two years to grow back from chemo five years ago. I hate that I will have to lose it again. On the scale of importance this, of course, is a minor concern. I want to live.

100 Survivors: Leslie Jubilee 1. my face (daily)
"The woods are lovely, dark, and deep." I passed a sister survivor leaving Weinberg after my daily radiation treatment. Maybe that was her husband who pushed the wheelchair. Her head was covered with one of those turbans we women sometimes sport when we are bald. Dark circles collided with her cheekbones and tiredness staggered toward the corners of her mouth...but her eyes swept to the millimeter of newly grown hair twirled against my scalp, and her gaze mustered strength. I remember my days of complete baldness and how I heartened I felt when I saw a woman with her hair just growing back after chemo. It was as if that woman with her new hair was making a promise to me. I thought, "so there is an end to this, after all," and now I know I have promises to keep.

100 Survivors: Joanne Hooper 6. something I would miss
Joanne, an avid amateur photographer, preferred her old analog camera over a digital camera. She took the last and first photo in her series with a digital camera and decided to share some analog photos from her past. She recalled her family and glory days spent at the pool.

At first, I was in denial, then overwhelmed, and then fragmented. Now I am trying to put the pieces back together.

I tried to capture myself in the reflection on the sculpture, but it was very hard since the sculpture moved. Just like how life keeps moving on.

I joined this group ages ago, but never posted anything. Today I came here to do that, but came across your photo first, somehow. I lost my mom at the age of 49, in 1976, and I can tell you that I still miss her, but as somehow said above, it's not so near the surface with time. I just wanted to send you a virtual hug, and say what a very beautiful picture that is. Your mom would love it.

on the subject of alternative thereapy.....
no siree.
i want everthing they can give me that has tried, tested and proven results .

i am now on a clinical trial for a possible cancer treatment........ALONGSIDE the treatment i am having for my own Breast Cancer.
but i asked if i was at risk in any way, and was assured i was not. i didnt want whatever they gave me to have an adverse effect on the drugs i was taking.
i want to help others, but not at the risk of my life.

and alternative medicine?
i was given advice by someone online, that 'believed' in alternative medicine.
i will just say at this point that they themselves had not had cancer, but had used alternative medicine before for minor ailments...!!!!!!!!!

like a cold or something maybe?
and SHE thought that MY cancer was a good case for using alternative medicine?
yeah i would try it for a cold........not a life threatening disease.
