    Kilted Cancer Survivors?

    Another thread made me realize I've managed to accumulate four Kilted to fight Cancer type t-shirts.

    Three years ago I was doing chemo kilted. I also went for my radiology work kilted and to my biopsies kilted. Today the cancer is gone - not in remission- but gone.

    I had hairy cell leukemia - one of the cancers medical science can cure now. I do think my wearing the kilt to various procedures helped me keep a positive attitude during the scary ordeal. I think it boosted the morale of other cancer patients sitting with me while we got our chemo drip. Oncology staff always had positive comments about my kilts - wore a different tartan each day.

    I know there are other kilted cancer survivors on this forum. I'd like to hear how you kilts helped you make it through to the other side.

    Thanks
