Send us Fan MailLosing hair after cancer treatment ~ finding your 'new normal'.Ania Kasprzak shares her story of her ten month long fight with triple negative breast cancer- one of the most aggressive types!And yet despite this, and her previous heart attack, or maybe because of these, she believes in the power of positive energy and community.She says that following her cancer treatment, one of the most emotionally difficult moments for her was when her hair started to come out in handfuls.She describes her experience with no hair as a mainly positive one, with people being nicer to her, and sharing their own stories with her. She didn't feel that wigs were for her, and so she went around bald or sometimes wore a hat, if it was cold!We explore how beating cancer can feel like just the beginning, and how there can be a huge journey of recovery after, where life is slightly different and you have to find a new routine, including filling your time which was taken up with hours and hours of treatment.She also talks about how waiting for her hair to grow back in was torturously slow and a very emotional time for her.Whilst looking for something positive to fill her time, she took a stained glass course with Kent Adult Education. She took inspiration from the stained glass windows of her childhood catholic church, and started making angels, using recycled materials to help create them.She finds this therapeutic, and in this way is managing to touch the hearts of many and spread her positivity and love.
