Thank you for sharing! I know a lot of people who have done the course and found it really helpful, I hope it helps you with your confidence too. Chemo is a really tricky time to feel good about yourself, but resources like this course are so great. I hope your treatment is going as well as it can :sparkling_heart:

I’ve bounced between sizes during treatment and found it way less stressful once I stopped fighting it. I grabbed a few cheap bits from supermarket ranges so I didn’t feel squeezed or swamped, then stuck to softer fabrics that don’t cling. For Look Good Feel Better, I just wore something comfy and light because you end up trying makeup and fiddling with things. It felt more like a chilled catch up than anything formal.
