I was diagnosed with the first stage of breast cancer when I was 36 years old, September 2020.

 

Among all the chemotherapy treatment side effects, breast cancer chemotherapy side effects are considered the most severe one with major hair fall. It can be said: "The hairy areas are all stripping off"! Also, due to hair loss, my scalp is very sensitive! There is no way to wear a wig, so I chose to wear a hat.

 

However, it is difficult to find a comfortable and beautiful hat locally. Many comfortable and fashionable hats can only be ordered from abroad. The postage is often more expensive than hats, and the delivery duration is always long.

​

Waiting is suffering, and it is also lonely. Those friends who are facing the same condition as me, aren’t they suffering the same as well? 

​

At this moment, the idea of helping them came into me. Therefore, I want to find the most comfortable fabric, use soft and breathable materials to match different styles and make comfortable and fashionable headwear. This is also a kind of comfort to the lonely patients. It is very meaningful to use beautiful and fashionable headwear to accompany the patients, therefore the patients can rebuild their confidence, and their mood will be happy. Besides, we always should look good to blow the gloomy storm away from us and welcome the sunshine with a bright smile. Good appearance always brings that, and I find that it is even more important to all the cancer survivors.

​

This led to the creation of MIYACO. MIYACO is not only just a brand but it’s a memorial of my mother. She raised us up with so much of struggles and she pours out all her love and care to us and her grandchildren. Unfortunately, she left us after a long battle with breast cancer. This MIYACO is a way of remembering my mother and may she gives more courage and braveness to all the cancer survivors through this beautiful headwear.

 

I hope MIYACO's headwear can help cancer friends to gain their confidence and spread positive energy. Wearing MIYACO, cancer friends will feel better and accompany them happily and bravely on the journey of fighting cancer.

Dear cancer survivors, we can do this together, let embrace our journey even brighter with MIYACO! 

 

Embrace with MIYACO!

二零二零年九月，我三十六岁，我被诊断患上了乳癌第一期。

 

在众多化疗疗程里，乳癌比起其它癌症的掉发来得严重。可以说：“有长毛发的地方都会脱落”！也因为掉头发，导致我的头皮很敏感！由于没办法戴假发，所以我选择了戴帽子。

 

但是，在本地想要找到舒适又漂亮的帽子很难。很多舒适、好看、时尚的头饰只能从国外订回来，往往邮费比帽子还贵，而且等待的时间很长。

 

等待是煎熬的，更是孤独的。 。 。那些和我有一样病情的朋友，何尝不也和我一样煎熬？

 

此刻催生了想帮助她们的想法。于是，我想找最舒适的面料，采用柔软、透气的材质来搭配不同的款式，做一顶舒适、好看、时尚的头饰。这样对孤独的癌友也是一种安慰，用漂亮时尚的帽来陪伴病友，让癌友能重建信心，她们的心情也会愉快起来，那是极有意义的事。

 

于是MIYACO诞生了，我用她来记念我的母亲，当年含辛茹苦把我们养大却在含饴弄孙之时因乳癌而离开。

 

但愿MIYACO的头饰可以帮助癌友们找到自信和散播正能量。戴上MIYACO，癌友们心情可以变好，陪伴他们开心勇敢地走过抗癌之路。

 

加油！
