You may be wondering how Girl on the Go got started. Here is my story:My Dear "Sister": I am sorry to learn you have been diagnosed with cancer. It is a hard reality to hear. I know, when I heard those words in October of 2000 I was overwhelmed and frightened. I was also very worried about losing my hair; I felt strangely guilty for being concerned about my hair when my doctor was discussing my life. Yet, I could not stop thinking about how would I look without my long hair? I worried wearing a wig would make my illness visible to everyone - - turning a personal experience into a very public "outing." I knew I had the strength to fight my cancer, but why did I have to use some of that energy to fight for my privacy? Just the idea of finding and then walking into a wig shop made me feel as if I was "on display", sick, alone and vulnerable. Wishing you the best of health in the days to come.
