Robin Roberts Strength

      This morning on GMA Robin once again showed her strength and her courage.  She put her experience of loosing her hair to chemo on display.  She chose to shave her head when the chemo started her hair loss.

      Loosing one’s hair in chemo is often a universal experience…not everyone looses it…but it does happen to many.  Robin as always exudes class and style in how she presents herself.  I say that grace shines through her and she is an inspiration to many.  

      How a person sees themselves is complex.  Body image is important even when we don’t recognize how each component fits in how we feel about ourselves.  When battling cancer….attitude is important.  So when the emotions of chemo’s sides effects kick in with things such as hair loss or weight gain or weight loss or depression; it is very important to let the patient express how they are feeling. 

       Support is the key…physical, spiritual, and emotional support goes along way to helping your loved one deal with all that is thrown at them in their fight with cancer.
