Oh Eric!! Always love your posts. They are always very truthful. Lol!
My sister's vanity actually came out after surgery. She covers every single scar she has received from treatment. I would assume she was vain before all this happened I just never noticed it. I believe that if it wasn't for her son she would have fought this treatment also. I thank god everyday that she went through with it.
Her scars are not that bad and she is very fortunate that she is cancer free. All she sees now are the scars and has become depressed about it.
Being around many that have been diagnosed with this cancer it seems to carry an emotional burden like none I have ever seen. This is the part many looking in do not see and don't understand. It's terrible. Sometimes I don't know what's worse for her to deal with. Her mortality or her disfigurement.
