Some women's bodies physically change as they undergo treatment for cancer. For other women, the experience may not be outwardly visible. Regardless of whether or not that change is obvious to others, the experience can alter a woman's body-image-or how she perceives her appearance. A woman may be reminded of her cancer each time she looks in the mirror no matter how long ago she was diagnosed.

While having cancer makes some women want to reinvent themselves, others want to return to the way things were before their diagnosis. It's a different experience for each person.

But for all women, getting dressed is part of a daily routine. Sometimes that routine can be more challenging when one's body-image has changed as a result of cancer. Clothes have the ability to change your mood, lift your spirits, and provide you with a creative outlet. Clothes can be functional as well as fun and empowering.
