"I will need to open your neck to remove
the tumor," the surgeon told me on a hot summer day. The words turned into
white noise. "So, an ugly scar across my neck, then?" I asked. The
nurse said: "Don't worry. The closure is like his signature. Just like you
want a perfect scar, he wants to give you one. You'll barely see it." I
found some comfort in that.
I googled "cancer surgery scar" and
was presented with neck images: necks with red and purple lines, closed with
stitches or glue; necks with multiple scars....It was enough to make me shut my
Macbook, as anxiety pulsed through my body. In the mirror, I admired my neck,
running my finger across a gold chain I wore. Then a tiny voice said:" Mummy!"
My then fie-year-old son. Jack, appeared in
the mirror behind me. Our reflection was a big reality check. See, my son didn't
know I had cancer and was having surgery. I'm a single mom. Jack lives with me
and doesn't have a relationship with his father. I'm his hero. I'm the homework
helper, nurse, chef, taxi driver, and every other variation of parent. I knew I
couldn't lose heart over cancer or some scar on my neck --I'm this kid's life!
So I did the next best thing I could think of:
I made an appointment to get my hair done a few days before the first surgery.
My goal was simple: golden hair to frame my scar. If I couldn't hide it, I
might as well show it off. I never had any intentions of hiding the scar. I
didn't want my son to think my scar was something to be ashamed of. I'm his
role model and I needed to set a good example. Bad things can happen, but it's
how you deal with them that matters.
The scar proves I faced my fear and won. If I
got through that I can get through all the hardships, land on my feet and live
boldly.
