Win 'Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls'

I do not garnish all my confidence from appearances, but while going through breast cancer treatment the days that I felt like I looked good I felt confident I would be cancer free. I think that it was what some people call gumption.

To give others gumption, I have a copy of "Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls" by Marybeth Maida and Debbie Kiederer to give away. The book covers how to maintain radiant skin, feel comfortable in your clothing, makeup application, wigs and positive attitudes.

If you would like to enter to win the book, please e-mail me your name and address at jwilson@detnews.com.

More waiting, More decisions.....

Jodi,

Perhaps it was me that you read about the tear-drop implants! I did choose to do them, texture vs smooth, they are style "410MF". They are Silocone and I was told the chances of them rotating were slim because of the texture.

Of course, nothing is a guarantee!

I'm sure you will come to a decision soon. And just so you know, this surgery is a very simple one! It is out-patient, takes about 3 hours and you are up and at 'em right away.

My surgery was 6 weeks ago and am still feeling some tightness and numbing. I was told it could take up to 6months...ugh! Therefore, I am looking forward to the new year, 2010.

Wishing you the best of luck...I will continue to read your thoughts, keeping track of you.

About this Weblog

Jodie Wilson was 26 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2007. Wilson, a page designer at The Detroit News, lives in Royal Oak with her husband, Bob, and their dog, Elle.
"I love anything that is just a little bit cheesy. I'm a hopeless romantic. I have faith. I love to sing in the car. I hate olives and turkey. I hate snow slush in the winter. I love short winters. I like to decorate my house. I have lived in Michigan my whole life. I love my family."
