Let me tell you my story.
I had a grand mal seizure
noun
noun: seizure
causes a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions. It’s the type of seizure most people picture when they think about seizures. A grand mal seizure — also known as a generalized tonic-clonic seizure — is caused by abnormal electrical activity throughout the brain
[6 : 4 : 5 : 10 : 7]
So, the one and only.
And onto brain scanning.
Discovering a ticking bomb in my brain, next to the main artery.
It lead to immediate open brain surgery.
[4 : 4 : 3]
I was frozen.
It was all horrible.
Especially for Dave.
[2 : 3 : 3 : 6 : 3 : 1 : 4 : 2]
I survived.
No side effects.
Doctors was amazed.
Recovered, over a very long time.
It was difficult.
BUT THEN
I get breast cancer,
high score.
[2 : 3 : 5]
Intensive chemotherapy.
Nearly killed me,
but in truth saved me.
[4 : 4 : 4 : 1 : 4]
I lost weight : 39kg
All side effects possible.
Lost all my hair.
EVERYWHERE.
Bald head and scars,
from surgery.
[2 : 3]
I scream.
My husband.
My Dave.
My husband.
My love.
My life.
My world.
[4 : 4 : 4 : 1 : 4]
The battle.
Climbing mountains constantly.
7 years, total recovery.
Then, last year.
I became ill, again.
Side effects from toxic treatments.
[ 8 ]
Is it possible to recover, after so many years?
[3 : 3 : 4 : 2 : 2 : 1 : : 3]
I am recovering,
gaining weight. 46kg.
But with other goodies.
Skin problems.
Not treatable.
I am positive.
[2 : 2 : 2 : 1 : 3 : 2 : 2]
My hairloss.
My wigs.
I am nervous, to wear in public.
But I do it.
I am learning.
It is actually fun.
love,
Marianne
That’s me. My story.

Hello Marianne .
What an incredible lady you are and I’m thrilled you are feeling better . I think you look amazing with waring your new hair , really ! The style and colour really suits you .

Deeply touching Marianne. In a few words you have painted a vivid picture. Your words will help others enormously.
You dont need a wig to make you beautiful. You are beautiful – inside and out.
However, it is the essence of who you are that is making the wig you are wearing look pretty stunning.
Sending love and positive vibes to you and Dave. He’s definitely a keeper. Anne
