Hello all,

How are you feeling today? 😉

I opened this discussion to talk about femininity and breast cancer.

Many women often let themselves go during their treatments and lose confidence in themselves.

How do you manage to stay stylish and feminine despite the challenges of the disease and the treatments? What are your tips?

Feel free to share your advices in the comments below!

Take care,
Berthe

Hi Berthe,

I work from home, so my daily outfit are legging and hoodie. Sometimes is difficult to even shower. Definitely not feminine or cute or sexy or desirable. It's tough. Life is hard. Somedays I'm just so tired and worn out I just sleep. BUT I have a friend who is so great. She picks a Friday, comes over, and we get ready and go out. Shower, hair, makeup, dress, maybe even heels. I don't know what I would do without her and these date nights. I am single, so there are not too many reasons to dress up. But I appreciate it SO much. I would recommend this for anyone. Married or not. Find a girlfriend and pick a night, and go all out. It reminds me of being in college.

Everyone should do it, sick or not. Think about it :)

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
