My lowest time to my bravest time because I looked good and Felt Better by Peggy Dado
Look Good…Feel Better is an amazing program. I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in April 2007. This form of breast cancer is the most aggressive and has the lowest survivor rates than other breast cancers. In January of 2008, I had already been through 12 chemotherapy treatments, had a mastectomy and was going through two times a day radiation. I spent 8-12 hours a day at the treatment center in Chicago. It was too cold to go out walking and I was weak. Looking back now I was depressed. During this time I made and appointment with “Look Good…Feel Better”. I was taught on how to put on the makeup and take care of my skin during this stressful time. I was amazed at much better I felt just by putting on makeup. My spirits were elevated much more than I would have thought before going through the class. In fact the first week in February I went to a retirement party and did not cover my head for the first time since June 07. The make-up made the difference. Thanks “Look good…Feel Better”, for boosting my hope, courage and determination to get through the most difficult part of my life.
