Hi Joanna,
You and I are so much alike concerning the way we are dressed. I remember when I completed treatment, I bought several turtlenecks to hide the ugly burn marks on my neck. Every time I went out, I asked my sons if they noticed anything strange around my neck. Now a year later, I put on tops with low necklines and never care about what others think of me. In fact, I think not many people are interested in our own appearance except ourselves. I have never worn the turtlenecks I bought since they make my neck very uncomfortable and they are all undersized.
