With more than 40 types of epilepsy, and only one type is ever mentioned, which is the one on TV, it's no wonder that there is a lack of awareness about epilepsy and a stigma associated with it.

March is Epilepsy Awareness Month so this post contains information about epilepsy and my personal story that also includes cancer.

The words childhood and cancer should never be in the same sentence. Find out some facts about childhood cancer, read personal stories, and find out how to make a difference.

My body image problems started well after my breast cancer treatments ended. The side effects of my cancer treatments meant nothing to me. The loss of a breast didn’t really bother me. You could say that I wasn’t attached to it. My hair loss during chemo didn’t bother me, because I got more compliments on my wig than I have ever received about my actual hair.

While not all chemotherapy treatments result in hair loss, when it does, hair loss might be more extensive than you expect.

While people often associate cancer with death, there are many life lessons to learn and so many lives to save.
