A New Mendhi and it's healing power


Pace has not liked wearing a wig. They're hot and uncomfortable. Every woman that has had chemo tells me this.

They are especially annoying when the chemotherapy triggers a "hot flash."

Pace went for another Mendhi deign from Luma R. Brieuc This girl is quite the artist, she does the designs freehand. As a guy who has challenges drawing stick people I am in awe of artists who can create such stylistic designs of life.

I am hearing a story every cople of weeks about someone else with cancer that has opted for a mendhi design to reduce the shine of baldness. Pace is on the cutting edge of a trend.
  • There are now 3 women who get chemo at the same clinic as Pace that have gotten their head done as well.
  • The sister of a waitress at the Windsor Arms has started wearing mendhi
  • My god daughter Kelly was telling me about a cancer support group in Brampton that has decided against permanant tattoos and gone with the henna.
  • Rethink Breast Cancer was threatening to post a picture on their website of Pace's dome covered with mendhi or include it in an e-newsletter. However I haven't seen anything yet. Hey MJ do you want some copy and more pics?

Mendhi has been an empowering act for Pace as she exerts a form of control over breast cancer and the effects of chemotherapy. I'm so proud of her! She has been brave enough to help other women improve their self image while her own has been challenged by this disease.
