Before Meets After~10-15-13

Before:

In July of 2012 I was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma,  the offending mole was removed surgically in August 2012. All is well now.  I have to see a dermatologist and an oncologist every 3 months for the next two years.  Out of four spots I have had removed two were cancerous, two were benign. If you have any moles that have changed in shape, size or color...I urge you to have it looked at.  There are 3 different types of skin cancer.  The type I have can be fatal.  If you have any questions,  I would love to answer them. 

So I wanted to find a sunhat.  Ummm, they were $60+  Not in my budget!  I found this over the weekend at a tag sale.  It was new, with tags, for .50 cents.  The cloth ribbon was not to my liking.

Meets After:

A classic white ribbon to the rescue.

I just used what I had on hand.  I'm going to be on the lookout for ribbon with Roses.  My favorite. I tried it on and it fits well, it's just too bad that I don't like the way it looks on me. :(  But, I NEED to wear it.  Cancer stinks.
