A recent New York Times article, “My Brain on Chemo, Alive and Alert”, held my feet to the fire to recognize the routines in my life I sometimes abhor. Only good health affords us the priviledge of ignoring gratitude and bliss in favor of blurred images of how we spend our precious time here.
That’s why, when Marisa at the National Women’s Health Resource Center told me about Mary Beth Maida, a breast cancer survivor, and her book, “Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls”, I knew I had to bring her story to you all. Like Lisa Martinez, Executive Director of the Women's Sexual Health Foundation says, “we are all survivors of breast cancer” since we know more women each year who are diagnosed with this condition, threatening to affect one in eight women over a lifetime. That’s way too common but the good news is that more women are surviving today, based on earlier diagnosis and earlier, better treatments.
With that said, women’s health research shows and personal experience magnifies the fact that personal empowerment is absolutely key for women surviving breast cancer. Enter Mary Beth and her partner Debbie Kiederer, a dynamic and passionate duo who have just launched Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls – the first-ever community dedicated to women who want to look and feel their best while they deal with the side effects of cancer treatment. They believe that every woman dealing with cancer deserves to look and feel as close to normal as her energy and her spirit will allow. Please join us on September 26th to talk with Mary Beth about her beauty pearls and help a friend, mother, aunt or sister see her beauty inside and out...while coping with chemotherapy.
