A mum who used a ‘lipstick and heels’ philosophy to get through breasttreatment has told how her eyelash business – specifically for people going through chemotherapy – has taken off.
‘I’d convinced myself it wouldn’t be cancer. I was only 36, I’d never drunk or smoked in my life and was very active. I was so sure it couldn’t be cancer that I didn’t see any point in cancelling my interview.’Desperate not to discuss her mortality, Cody waited for treatment until she’d taken her kids to Legoland – something she’d always promised them she’d do. It was then that she had a lumpectomy.
Cody, who has now been cancer-free since 2015, wanted to feel as normal – and as far away from being a cancer patient – as possible.She said: ‘I could put on my make up, I could draw on my eyebrows, I could wear my wigs to hide the hair loss, because of treatment.’She said: ‘I discovered that when you use normal false lashes, they need a line of real lashes to rest on. They don’t look natural otherwise. It’s like they need a ridge to fix onto.
