2 years post-chemo (hard to believe)
A year and a half post-chemo... the results of my first "curly hair" cut
Curlzzz! 16 months out of chemo.
I can get it into rubberbands...Mouse ears!
This is me 12+ months out from chemo. Still curly!
Almost 6 months out from chemo, this is how I manage my curls.
This is me 14 weeks post treatment - look at the hair!
This is me 8 weeks post treatment (5/18/07)
- Trisha Ekstrom
- Fairfax, California, United States
- I live in an enchanted part of Northern California that lends itself to hiking, sitting on hilltops, walks on the coast, and all things outdoors. I am grateful to the amazing community of people with whom I share this place. Currently, I am the resource specialist (special education teacher) at Leadership High School, a charter school in San Francisco. Before moving to California, I taught English for three years on the westside of Chicago, and helped to open a small school there. I live with my boyfriend and partner, Cary, who helps sustain me (and doesn't let me take take myself too seriously). I am surrounded by an incredible network of family and friends (west coast to east coast, and all the space in between). In September 2006, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was 28.
Strength
The night of my ritual -- created to gather strength going into surgery and to mourn the loss of a breast
Fear
Waiting for surgery (the first one)
Celebration
Jen and Erin's visit - Sushi night!
Narcissus Altar
Look at all the cards! Thank you...
Irreverance
No, you cannot remove any more lymph nodes!
Alive
Post second surgery - not dressed, but still standing!
