I took so much for granted prior to cancer and would say things like I hate my hair or my nails don't look right or I wish I looked like her but today I realize what a humbling experience this is. I know it's just a season and this to shall pass but man do I miss the hair I hated then and the nails that weren't exactly the way I wanted them.

... Read moreCancer can lead to profound changes in how we view ourselves and our lives. During treatment, many experience hair loss and changes in their appearance, which can be emotionally taxing. However, this journey often leads to a renewed appreciation for the beauty we took for granted. Emphasizing self-acceptance can be empowering; rather than focusing on what was lost, it's important to recognize the strength gained through hardship. Engaging with support groups or online communities can also foster connection and understanding, reminding us that we are not alone in our experiences. Celebrating small victories, like regrowing hair or embracing natural beauty, can uplift our spirits. Ultimately, it's about cultivating love for ourselves amidst the trials, allowing the journey to transform our perspectives on beauty and worth. If you or a loved one is navigating a similar journey, resources like counseling or support networks can offer invaluable guidance and comfort, helping individuals foster resilience and renew their sense of identity post-treatment.

This has helped me so much!
I use to have a lot worse pain and took gabapentin. I felt like the pain just kept getting worse with gabapentin. So I decided to take the supplement and natural route. 💊😌 I’m not saying I never have pain, but this minimized it so much! Also walking helps in the long run. To stay active. 🚶‍♀

These are all of the piercings I have!! I honestly want more, but I’m not sure what else to get at this point😭. First, my nose rings were probably the least painful piercings I have. The only thing you feel is a pinch and an automatic tear failling. I got my first hole at 15, and I’ll be honest i
