2019 Paint the Paper Pink

Page 62 2019 Paint the Paper Pink Lincoln Daily News October 2019 knew her well, that it was a wig, and not entirely the same, but close enough that it revived the fight in her, and helped her keep her dignity.” Attitude is so very important when someone is battling any kind of illness not just cancer or breast cancer. When there is something that can be done to improve the attitude and lighten the load of the heavy burden a patient carries, it should be done. Wigs are not for everyone. A number of women chose not to go the wig route because a wig can be hot, sometimes hard to keep on and just in general a nuisance. To each it is their prerogative. Some choose caps or scarves and others feel that their bald head helps define them in this particular stage of their lives. The bottom line, do what is right for you, do what makes you stronger and makes you a better, tougher warrior. For those who are interested in obtaining a wig, the American Cancer Society does offer some information, but we suggest here locally that you visit Kim and/or Judy at Fabulous Hairstyles in Lincoln. They will treat you with love and respect and will assist you in any way they can. If you have a warrior who has left you and you wish to do good for others, Fabulous will also accept wig donations for the ACS wig bank. [Nila Smith]
