“If you feel good about yourself and the way you look, it’s likely other people will respond to you in a positive way. Absolutely nothing is sexier or more vital than a woman who exudes confidence and self-esteem. This is something none of us should let cancer steal away!”

‘Dianne Armitage’

Finding Beauty in Trauma

Life is full of challenges and pain, much of which we cannot control.  For many women diagnosed with cancer, the experience is perhaps one of the most traumatic events they will encounter.  Cancer is a horrific, life-altering and life-threatening experience.  The disease not only threatens our existence and our identity, but it can result in periods of darkness and despair.  Undoubtedly, cancer changes and challenges our lives and the lives of our loved ones.  But in spite of the devastation, and as ironic as it may seem, we can find beauty in the trauma of the cancer experience.
