I've been having some fun with my wigs. I have a few of them, and I give them names and personalities so it's easier when I decide which one goes with my outfits. Yeah cancer has not deterred me from going shopping and buying new stuff coz I just love dolling myself up.
I guess it's just my way of making the best of the situation that I'm in. I have not ventured outdoors bald. Just might scare some people away, plus I don't want people staring at me. In Malaysia, people tend to stare at you for the slightest reason.
Here are some of my different looks:
This blog shares my personal journey; the highs and lows I've experienced through breast cancer and beyond. From betrayal of loved ones, the break down of my marriage to re-organising my life and embarking on a new business at the age of 50. A single mom. breast cancer thriver. digital entrepreneur. lover. student for life. I hope my stories inspire you to never give up on life.

Time flies when you're on a weekly date
I call it the weekly date, simply coz I have to go for my chemo every week. Surprisingly the side-effects are minimal and I'm glad to say that some days I even forget that I am having cancer and receiving treatments.
With a wig on, some make-up and following a bit of fashion (I've been shopping the latest trends), nobody knows I'm battling breast cancer.
I tend to tire easily on some days and I have some body ache, but nothing that a massage can't ease.
I've been trying to not be so picky with my food. My white blood count has been dropping weekly, even with my booster jabs, and my oncologist told me to eat whatever I want. Of course, I'm still careful not to eat processed food, and too much meat.
I miss traveling and going on holidays. My hubby has been planning our next holiday, which falls on my birthday in Februaury. Plus it is also after my first phase of treatments end.
I simply can't wait for it.
And after looking at the options I had we narrowed it down to either Maldives or Tokyo.
We shall see.

My weekly massages are some of the things I look forward to besides the chance to go to the nearest mall for a quick retail therapy.
