I am really happy that my doctor is starting treatment. However, in my job I have to attend Chamber of Commerce meetings, etc. I would like some cute, funny, classy or sparkly/bling face masks to wear to these. Some folks sort of look at me funny for wearing a mask since they are not mandated and I would like something that at least has the ribbon on it so they would understand the reason and I would really prefer it to not have bad words in it or not look cheap b/c I truly am rubbingโ€ฆ read more

I mask every day, and we do not have a mask mandate either. I do not worry about explaining why I have a mask on. I wear it proudly! ๐Ÿ˜€

I hear you CleverGirl, I get the same looks when I wear a mask. Sometimes I'm the only one wearing a mask and they all stare. It doesn't bother me because I know I'm protecting myself from any germs that could compromise my immune system. I have CML! I'm in remission now 15 yrs. I'm also a breast cancer survivor for 11 yrs. You can probably try Amazon. They carry decorative masks. I've never thought of wearing a leukemia ribbon mask. I did purchase some beautiful breast cancer ๐ŸŽ€ masks. It's possible they may have the leukemia ribbons. I did buy 2 leukemia stickers for my car bumper. Good Luck I home they have what you're looking for. Stay Safe๐Ÿ˜ท ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ—

Like the Snoopy Tshirt Idea, I carry my Awareness on top of my head. My doctors inserted a port on top of my head, when folks ask what is that bump on your head? Since I shave my head anyway, I say my wife hit me with a hammer. Life is short anyway, so a little humor always helps.
