Pictures are funny
Pictures are funny things. For the first six months I was on this site, I used one of my mother's from the 1950's. She died 7 weeks before I was diagnosed so it seemed a nice gesture but in retrospect it was so I could stay at a remove from my reality. After my recurrence - 5 months after surgery - I realized I was in this for the long haul and wanted my friends to know who I really was. At that point I was just coming back from chemo and had a little hair, so my appearance was really fluid (hair grew quickly). As a compromise I posted a picture taken at work the month before I was diagnosed, even if it felt like a bit of false advertising. Now I need to do a new one, because I don't look like that anymore, either. I always appreciated how Editgrl/Chris left both her pictures on her About Me page, and I will do that too. I looked gawd-awful during chemo - who doesn't? - and want anyone going through it to know that this, too, will pass (my mother's favorite saying).
