One of my major concerns with cancer treatments was the loss of my hair. Many friends comforted me by telling me that my hair would grow back as lovely as theprecancer operation. I once had this incredibly wild, curly, flowing hair. When I began taking medication and treatments, there went my Cher-like, dazzling hair.
I came to terms with the loss of my lioness mane. Then I decided there was nothing I could do about the effects of cancer treatments on my hair. Instead I would focus on another part of my anatomy: my feet. One day after cancer treatment, I decided to drive to Napa and pamper my feet with new, sexy sandals. I bought a dozen pair!
That Christmas in 2000 my youngest son began a fun tradition: he would buy me unique, sexy sandals. Thus began my love affair with the most outrageous shoes I could find. After my third major cancer operation in December 2011, I could no longer wear sexy shoes. The surgery and anaesthesia caused blood flow problems throughout my legs and feet. The result was a condition with severe dry, cracking, bleeding feet. I kept my body hydrated, but nothing seemed to soften the hard skin around the heels.
In April 2013 I began acupuncture treatments. I was pleasantly surprised that with the treatments and natural, herbal medication, my feet are healing quickly.
My hair hasn't grown back yet; it remains short and thin (for now), but that's fine with me because I have sexy feet again. I am looking forward to this summer when I can show off my dazzling shoes. Who knows? Maybe I'll meet a dashing gentleman, like a modern-day Prince Charming, with a foot fetish? lol
