Breast Cancer Awareness October 5 [VIDEO]
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today, I'm posting the video "Skin" by Rascal Flatts. Although Sara Beth in the video doesn't have breast cancer, she faces a problem that many breast cancer patients deal with, and that's the loss of her hair. The loss of hair can often be as traumatic as finding out that you have cancer, and I can attest to that personally.
When I had nasal cancer and radiation my mustache started to fall out. After it gradually falling out, and losing hair every time I wiped my nose, I finally shaved it off. I instantly went from a full beard and mustached to the "Amish" look. People who knew me for years instantly didn't recognize me. It's only hair, but that was one of the days I remember, 10 plus years later.
