During this time, it was very important to Iris to continue to look good. She didn’t want to look sick, and she had always loved clothes and accessories. During treatment, she lost all of her hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, however, she was determined to stay positive. Although Iris bought a wig, she didn’t wear it often, because she felt it was too hot and uncomfortable. She wore turbans, scarves and jewelry which she matched to her outfits. She walked with her head held high and received frequent compliments from people, many of whom did not even know she was sick.
Iris wanted to give back. The team at Chemocessories believes it is very important to help women feel positive, and that treatment in no way diminishes the beautiful woman within. By putting together sets of scarves, turbans and jewelry and donating them to women going through treatment, Chemocessories can help lift spirits, boost confidence and provide a smile.
