They
Lost Their Looks, But Persevered
"I
loved myself more." Leslie Mouton's career as a TV anchor revolved around
looking good — but when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she faced
the harsh reality of losing her hair. At first, Leslie wore a wig to work,
but then she decided to go on air without her wig. Bald and beautiful,
Leslie says that her experience has helped her grow spiritually, emotionally,
and physically. "Many of us hide behind the exterior," she says, "because
we're scared to look at the interior."
