I decided last night i would get my chemo hats together and take them to the hospital the next day and give them away after my radiation treatment. I bought really pretty ones through ebay from a lady that hand made them , i wanted hats that would not only look pretty but make me feel alittle bit better about myself while i was feeling so bad. This day was the first day of the beg of my life feeling like a survivor. When i walked into the infussion center i looked for the ladies that had chemo hats on or that sat there bald or with hair missing in just some places, as i went to one at a time they looked at the hats and i said would u like to have one of these and there response was no thank you i have no money, with a smile on my face i told them, no they are not for sale pick out one u would like may they give u comfort and some peace for what u r going through because i have been in the chair that u r in. As i did this with my 16 yr old daughter it was so hard for both of us to hold back the tears because we both new the chemo part for me was done and it was such a hard time for me and the whole family. I found so much peace in this as i saw the smile on the last ladies face as i laid the hat next to her with no words just the smile she gave me and the smile i gave her in return. love and support Wanda
