All eyes are on me!

I went to get my first mammogram. I was already uncomfortable with the fact I could not wear, perfume, lotion or deodorant. I have anxiety from the horror stories of getting a mammogram. I enter the waiting area and all eyes are on me. Instantly it occured to me, my bald head was associated with me perhaps having breast cancer. I suddenly felt like the star attraction at a freak show. I was filled with many emotions in which I could not easily identify. It took every ounce of my energy not to break down and cry. Why are people so cruel?

Maybe all eyes were on you because you're gorgeous? :)

Oh, I understand the anxiety when getting a mammogram...ugh! Hang in there, girl! You're a beautiful woman who just so happens to be bald. As the saying goes, "Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter".
