Self conscious about wig
Hi, went to the cancer council wig library 2 days ago with my bestie and my partner. Found a nice wig that I and my 2 support people really liked. Was so excited, so much so that my partner said that...

My daughter Jade had a presentation at school that I was well enough to attend. I hadn't been a school for about 4 months at this stage & only her class parents knew what I was going thorugh.
Jade is a Princess....her hair is to her bum & she is VERY specific in how it has to be brushed and tied back. She cried for days & didn't want to go to school when she had 5cm trimmed of it, which I struggled no to chemo rage at her with as I was BALD! Anyway......
I get dress & wigged up ready for the mornings event....Jade looked at me and said "What have you got that on for?" She was happy for me to go to school with nothing covering my head. I was so shocked, but very touched at the same time.
I think my confidence came form watching a 60mins stroy on Turia Pitt. The runner that was burnt while running a marathon in the outback. If she can walk around without her burn covers on proudly, then surely I can walk around without hair....my grandfather has been doing it for as long as I can remember!
How did the school visit go? Great! kids looked, parents looked, Jade received a silver award ;)
