NiteSweatz Visits the Cancer Wellness Center
A Day with the Women of the Cancer Wellness Center
I recently spent over four hours with the greatest group of inspirational ladies and wanted to share my experience with all of you.
I was invited to speak about NiteSweatz in the Wellness Center of Piedmont Hospital’s Cancer Center. When I arrived I was greeted by such a warm and inviting group of not only employees but also the ladies that were there to hear about NiteSweatz wicking sleepwear and apparel.
Doctors are asked to leave their white coats at the door, to ensure an immediate feeling of warmth and love surrounding you in an otherwise sterile, medical environment.
Many women and men undergoing chemotherapy have found NiteSweatz apparel as a source of comfort to one of the big side effects of chemo… hot flashes and night sweats. This is why Carolyn Helmer asked me to stop by and bring awareness of our unique product line to these women so they can be comforted during this not so comfortable time in their lives.
After my product demo and a chat about me and birth of the NiteSweatz wicking sleepwear concept, I was able to meet and talk with many of the 25-30 ladies and hear about their individual journeys.
One lady confided in me that she had just picked up her wig and this was her first public appearance wearing it (I couldn’t tell it was a wig!) and told her, I was her new best friend, she said!
We were able to give away 5 sets of NiteSweatz as door prizes and the first lady who won was so excited (of course because it was NiteSweatz) but also because she had never won anything before in her life. We used her as an example that her life/luck is changing! She is a winner!
Some had just begun their journey with cancer and then there were some who had come out on the other side and were able to lend support to the others, truly special group of ladies devoted to lifting each other up, no matter what their stage.
Our lunch was prepared by one of the wellness center’s master chefs. She created a delicious all natural, locally grown vegetarian meal for us that as filling, satisfying, tasty and HEALTHY!! As she explained what she had prepared for us, she also gave us nutritional tips and education of why she combined certain foods etc.
I could eat like that everyday - Maybe someday…
The afternoon spent at the Wellness Center made me so incredibly grateful for my own health, but also grateful to know that there is a place to go for support, guidance, education and fun for all of us in the Atlanta area undergoing treatment for cancer.
