Lively artwork brings welcomed humor to cancer patients Each year, hundreds of thousands of cancer patients undergo chemotherapy, and the first question they usually ask is, "Will I lose my hair?" The answer is, "Yes," and with that answer comes fear, apprehension, and a host of negatives related to self-image and self-confidence. "Chemo and Me" emphasizes the positive. Its message is that hair loss is not as devastating as you might expect. Each turn of the page comes with a bright, colorful illustration designed to bring a smile or a laugh, helping diffuse some of the fear and apprehension for people facing chemotherapy and hair loss. From first-hand experience, Tani C. Miller lets you know that hair loss can actually bring about positive changes and give you a new outlook on life. This feel-good book highlights the importance of letting go and allowing others to be helpful through treatment. ""I guess a part of me thought people were going to reject me when I lost my hair, but instead I found them to be incredibly kind. I began to see my illness as having a purpose. It wasn't completely about me. It gave others a chance to shine and feel good about themselves."" --from the book
